The Carrbrook Gardening Competition, organised by the Carrbrook Hub, took place in August 21 and was a fantastic local community initiative.  The Club was happy to sponsor this and all the judges, including Club President Ian Cochrane, were very impressed with the high standard and commitment of all the entrants.  The organisers and participants were delighted that the Civic Mayor was able to attend for the awards ceremony.
