BUCKLAND Monachorum Flower Show took place recently in the village hall.

Pictured holding the show's Netherton Challenge Cup is Miss Margaret Kite — the cup was first won in 1946 by Paul Bellan and for the next three years by William Kite.

The cup was presented to the flower show committee by Miss Kite in memory of her father and will be awarded at next year's show.

The committee would be glad to hear from anyone else in the area who may have an original cup among their souvenirs.
