RHS Show 2008 results
The annual RHS Show 2008 was held on Saturday 2nd August 2008, at Rousay Primary
School.
The Children's section was impressive, particularly the vegetable figures, with Duncan Hull's
being judged the best of the bunch. Annie Mainland was the winner of the Hume Cup, with the
most points in the primary school section, while Samantha Marwick accumulated the most points
in the secondary section.
There was an array of vegetables on show, including some juicy-looking tomatoes shown by
Ronald Mainland, which were judged to be the best exhibit in the whole section.
Anne Kovachich did incredibly well, accumulating the most points, not just for her district
of Sourin, but overall.
The District Shield went to Wester once again, with 5.6 points per head of population.
Frotoft came second with 2.8 points per head, Sourin third with 2.3, while Brinian finished
bottom with just 0.4. Egilsay put in such a good showing, largely thanks to Jackie McInnes,
that it may be considered eligible for the District Shield from next year.
There was a good return in the Tattie-in-a-Bucket competition. Bill Murray's time at the top
came to an end, as he dropped to third. The top two spots were occupied by Egilsay's Chris
and Gregg Cox respectively. The heaviest crop came in at a massive 7lb 7oz, with one tattie
weighing in at 1lb! Egilsay's Jordan Basford was the Under-16 with the heaviest crop, which
won him a prize and the Cormack Cup.
