Some Images from the long history of the society
Surrey Advertiser reports of early shows
1881

1905
Until the original press reports were seen at the Surrey History Centre, there was some confusion as to the age of the society resulting in a centenary celebration in 1990 - 9 years later than it should have been.
The picture shows our president Stanley Miller and the Mayor of Waverley planting the Liquidamber tree ( below and now rather large!) at the Glebe Centre
To celebrate the millenium the society installed a bench on the hill in Mapledrakes Rd. The seat is still there in January 2026. Picture shows the late Mabel Edwards, Miles Thompson ( chairman at the time) with Millie Breeveld..
In the past press photographers visited the shows and here are a few of their photos
