GOT members will be attending and exhibiting fruit, juice and cider and perry at several shows this season.
There’s the Malvern Autumn Show, 22nd to 24th September where Jim Chapman will again be exhibiting his amazing collection of perry pears. Three Counties Showground, Malvern WR13 6NW.
Jim will also be displaying perry pears at Hartpury on the afternoon of Saturday 16th September.
And also on Friday 13th October at the Hereford Courtyard Theatre, Edgar St., Hereford HR4 9JR.
Additionally, there may be a display of plums at Hartpury on the afternoon of Sunday 27th August, primarily to show Gloucestershire’s plums varieties. If it happens, this will include the Bristol plum; until recently the only known tree had plum pox, but we now have a clean tree from which to propagate.
Not forgetting…the Frampton Country Fair, Sunday 10th September, one of the last truly country fairs. Tim Andrews, Trustee, will be there with his Orchard Revival cider and perry.

Apples picked in October will contribute to the Trust’s coffers, as the fruit will be sold to Trust Juice … and you’ll also receive some free apple juice in return.
If the access track is still navigable in November then there may also be a fruit harvesting day on Saturday 18th November.
