LOSING the Horwich Fruit, Flower and Vegetable Society after a history of almost 100 years is a genuine blow to the town.
It has held its last show because its base, St Mary’s Social Club in Horwich, is closing to make way for more homes and the Society is struggling to find a suitable alternative venue locally.
The Society has provided an important showcase for homegrown produce over the decades, and encouraged generations to take to the garden to grow their own. We’re sorry to see you go because you made Nature’s many tangible joys readily accessible to us all.
