We have just over a hundred classes, which
include Vegetables, Fruit, Flowers, Container plants,
Domestic classes including jams and chutney, Floral Art
classes, Novices classes, Novelty classes such as the
heaviest marrow, and Junior classes for children.
We attract over fifty exhibitors who between them show about
500 exhibits. We offer cash prizes for 1st, 2nd, 3rd places
and have a large range of cups to reward excellence either
in a particular class, or over a specified range of classes. Entry fees are 25p per class, with a maximum of £3. Our current
biggest exhibitor exhibited in 56 classes last year. Our show is an
OPEN show, that is, anyone can enter: you don’t have to be a member
although we naturally welcome new members! In recent years, we have
attracted some very experienced exhibitors from outside, given that
sadly, some other Garden Clubs are no longer running their shows. |

Our seven Judges are all very experienced experts in
their respective fields and appropriately qualified.
Standards are high, but that should not inhibit newcomers to
showing. Our most prolific exhibitor started by entering the
Novice classes not too many years ago. Our best exhibitors
are very willing to give encouraging advice to those less
experienced in showing. We have experienced stewards who job
includes offering advice to exhibitors to prevent a small
error from causing a disappointing failure. |
