10th Summer Show in July 1905, when there were classes for Cottagers and
Allotment Holders, Amateur Subscribers and children under 15. The early
schedules and minutes of meetings are a record of social history and make
fascinating reading. They include advertisements for the shops which once lined
Petersham Road. More InformationIf you would like to become a member, or exhibit at the Summer Show or can offer
