The new man in charge of Radlett Horticultural Society's summer and autumn shows this week said he hoped to see more roses and exhibits from young gardeners this year. Peter Breward has been appointed as flower show secretary, succeeding Peter Hordern, who has retired after ten years in the job.

The summer mini show will take place on the evening of Thursday, July 4, at Newberries School, in Newberries Avenue, Radlett, and the autumn show will be on Saturday, September 7, at the same venue.
