BEAUTIFUL blooms were on display at an annual event at the weekend.

Worle Century Club held its flower show and despite the recent bad weather, plenty of fine floral creations were entered.

First-time winner in the begonia class was show secretary Richard Knowles with his multi-stemmed flower. He won the Ray Cliff Begonia Cup.

There was also a lot of competition over who had grown the biggest carrot with amazing creations up to 14ins long and 3ins wide.
