Many congratulations to the Design and Build team of the HPS Cheshire and Friends Group on their well deserved Silver-Gilt medal at the RHS Flower Show, which is held in the grounds of Tatton Park, Cheshire from 20 - 24 July 2011. The team, which was much smaller than in previous years, comprised Brenda Minshall, Betty Smith, Di and Malcolm Foreman.
