16th Radley Gardens Competition
| The Parish Council’s 16th annual Garden Competition was held on Saturday, 7th July.
The Council is most grateful to the 12 judges, who, this year, came from Abingdon and Kennington and also to the guides who shepherded the judges round the village.
The Council is grateful to the following for sponsorship: RWE npower; Abingdon Garden Plants of Lodge Hill; Berinsfield Community Business; Mr Ezra Attia; Radley Village Shop and Peachcroft Farm.
Additional thanks are due to Jenny Standen and Marion Natham for providing an excellent lunch and tea for the judges and guides.

Let’s carry on keeping Radley beautiful
(but d’you think anyone will notice if we carry on meeting like this?)

| The judging criteria remained the same as they were last year. The persistent wet weather clearly took its toll of the flowers this year, as there were noticeably fewer awards, compared with last year, in the Tubs & Hanging Baskets and Most Colourful Flower Garden categories. |
