WELCOME – from the Chairman
We look forward to bringing you another great Show this year. We’ve got it sorted – the weather will be as good as it has been for the last couple of years, so bring your sun hats and bonnets!
But to make it a great Show, we need your help.
We need you to enter some of the Show classes in the grand marquee.
look around at the shrubs and flowers in your garden .. you do not have to be a specialist grower planting just for Show quality: I’m sure there will be some things to cut and enter – believe me, it’s great fun. You do not have to enter lots of classes (although if course it is fantastic if you do), but try making a start this year with just a couple of entries, and see how easy it is!
if you grow veg., I reckon you can find four potatoes or half-a-dozen runner beans that you can spare from the dinner plate
and you do not have to be a Mary Berry to bake a few scones or a fruit tart. If you are a man, think what a mess you could make in the kitchen when you make your Eccles cakes!
you do not need a fancy Pentax or Nikon to enter the Photography classes – we all use digital these days, and most of us have smartphones: we are surrounded by trees and gardens, and lots of the youngsters have pets to help create some terrific ‘fun fotos’. Easy subjects to snap and enter this year
a further inducement to enter Class 69 – ‘three photos on a theme’ – is the new claret jug trophy presented by Mary Scutt in memory of Des – ‘a class he loved but never managed to win’, said Mary. So let’s do Des proud and make the judge’s life really difficult with lots of entries to choose from.
We need you to come to the Show on Saturday, to enjoy the exhibits and the stalls (and the beer and burgers), to take part in the tug-o-war, to sit down with the kids in front of Punch & Judy, to ‘take tea’ with the ladies of the WI – the options are endless!
We need you to come and enjoy the Race Night on Saturday evening – we did it last year to great acclaim: it is a super family evening out, the children had a whale of a time (almost as much as the adults!) – and above all, everyone there takes part and has fun. And you could win the week’s housekeeping on the Tote,
We need you and your dogs to come and be cute on the Sunday – this year we are catering for cross-breeds (a new class) and cross-dressers (in the ‘Nursery Rhymes’ fancy dress class). As always with beer and burgers for the owners.
John Thom, VPA Chairman.

TIMINGS FOR EXHIBITORSThe marquee will open at 8:30 am. All exhibits must be in place by 10:30 am and all clear for judging by 11:00 am. Late entries will NOT BE ACCEPTED after 10:15 am.
All exhibits are to remain on display until 4:00 pm and then to be removed by 4:15 pm – unless they are to be donated to the auction of show produce.
The Association would be grateful to have any exhibition produce to auction at the end of the Show. The proceeds from the auction are a valuable contribution to the costs of running this annual event.
To avoid any mishaps, exhibitors are advised not to display exhibits on plates or in vases of financial or sentimental value.
GROWING AND PREPARING FOR SHOW AND EXHIBITIONAll exhibitors are recommended to read the Notes and Hints following in preparing for the Show. It is assumed that all exhibitors in all classes are familiar with the rules of the Summer Show, which can be obtained from the Show Secretary.
FRUIT, VEGETABLES AND FLOWERS1 FRUIT: Pick as near to show time as practicable. Stalks must always be left
on. Currants should be in strigs (natural bunches from stem) and preferably cut from woody stem.
2 All fruit should show a natural bloom and not be polished.3 VEGETABLES: All roots to be washed.4 Carrots, parsnips, turnips and beet should have leaf stalks trimmed to approx
3" (75mm).5 Radishes should be shown with short intact foliage.6 Brassicas, including lettuces, should have approx 3" (75mm) of stalk on the
exhibit.7 Onions: Skins should be dried off to an even tone. Loose or damaged skins
should be removed but not down so far that the white layers show. Necks neatly tied with uncoloured raffia.
8 Shallots should be shown as separate bulbs and not as clusters.9 Potatoes should have clean skins and be of uniform size and shape, the eyes
should not be too deep. 10 Peas and beans should be shown with stalks.11 All produce is judged on condition, size, uniformity and suitability for table
use, except where otherwise stated. 12 FLOWERS: A bloom is one flower on a stem (e.g. dahlia or poppy), and note
that a bud will be treated as a bloom.13 A stem has several flowers (e.g. hydrangea or gladiolus).14 Roses must be shown with foliage.
13
15 Flowers are judged on condition, stems, form of flower, colour and uniformity.
14
FLORAL ARRANGEMENTS1 Plant material must predominate over all other components used.2 Sedges, rushes, reeds, bulrushes, catkins, cereals and heads of grass (at
any stage of their development) are allowed as flowers or fruit.3 ‘Fruit’ includes edible and inedible fruit, berries, seed heads, nuts, cones,
fungi and vegetables.4 ‘Foliage’ includes leaves and unopened buds not showing petal colour.5 Bracts may be used as flowers or foliage.6 Artificial plant material is not permitted unless specifically allowed by the
Show schedule.7 The cut ends of fresh plant material stems must be staged in water or water
retaining material.8 An accessory is anything which is added to the plant material in an exhibit.
Accessories may be used in an exhibit unless specifically prohibited by the Show schedule.
9 Backgrounds, bases, drapes, containers and any card of title description or explanation, are not accessories, and may be used unless prohibited by the Show schedule.
10 Unless otherwise stated in the Show schedule the measurements shown will apply to the three dimensions of width, depth and height. Competitors must NEVER exceed the specific measurements given in the schedule.
11 Wire, tape and glue may be used if required, but should not be obvious.12 NAFAS Handbook shall prevail in case of dispute.
EGGS – to be uniform in shape, colour and size. Shells free from stains and dirt and with a good texture.
BAKING TIPS1 Bread – should be 24 hours old, well risen, evenly baked and with no cracks
on the crust; internal texture light and even; wholemeal is less risen and closer in texture than white.
2 Sponges – top should be free of cooling rack marks and without bubbles. Texture fine and evenly risen.
15
PRESERVES1 Use clear jars with no trade marks (check the bottom and side of the jar) and
always use a NEW lid for showing.2 Use only 450g (1lb) jars unless otherwise stated in the schedule.3 Jars must be clean. Polish the outside with a cloth to remove marks.4 For jams and jellies, fill the jar to the brim to allow for shrinkage.5 Covers must be a good fit. 6 For jams and jellies, use a wax disc, cut if necessary to fit the jar, plus a
cellophane top OR a NEW twist top without a wax disc.7 For chutneys and vinegar preserves, use NEW plastic lined twist top lids.
Cellophane tops and wax disc must not be used. 8 For curds a wax disc and cellophane cover must be used to allow the curd
to breathe, as the temperature is not high enough to seal a plastic lid.9 Labels should be near the bottom of the jar and clearly state the contents
and date made (month and year). Do not stick decorative covers on lids for showing.
PRESERVING HINTS AND TIPS1 Always use good quality fresh or frozen fruit.2 Use a large, heavy-based saucepan or preserving pan.3 Ensure the sugar has completely dissolved before boiling.4 Adding a knob of butter reduces the amount of froth.5 Start timing as soon as a full rolling boil is reached.6 Always dry freshly washed jars in a warm oven.7 Always pour hot jam into warm jars.8 Add herbs to jellies after boiling. Allow the jelly to stand for about 10 mins,
stirring occasionally. Make sure the herbs are evenly distributed throughout the jelly and no longer float on the surface, before potting.
9 Store preserves in a cool dark place.
CHUTNEYS1 Vegetables to be uniform in size with no large pieces of onion, skin, stones
or cores visible.2 Consistency to be pulpy and reasonably firm with no free liquid remaining.3 Jars to be filled to within 1 cm (1/2 in) of the top.4 Ensure no visible air bubbles.5 Colour to be bright and even throughout. Dark chutneys should not look
“muddy”.6 Label to state flavour “heat” level.7 Flavour to be mature, well balanced and characteristic of the ingredients
used.8 No re-bottling allowed.9 Chutneys should be kept for at least two months before showing.
