Renewed interest saw the re-emergence of the Garden Club flower show at the Violet Town Community Centre, but a show with a changed format.

Head Steward, Barbara Ramage said "This year we have enhanced the show with the inclusion of crafts and photographs." The change meant that more people became exhibitors and brought visitors from out of town to view the flowers on show.
