NOTES ON THIS YEAR’S SCHEDULE

The rules have been slightly amended so that anyone living within 10 miles

radius of Earls Colne can now enter. Also, children with a relative living within

this area can enter even if they themselves do not live within the 10 mile radius.

We have re-introduced the cookery class for men only (class 51) and the class for

a digitally transformed picture (class 96).

For the first time in 11 years we have brought back three classes for those who

rear hens and bantams (classes 193 – 195).

Children are reminded that they are welcome to enter any of the show classes not

just those specifically for children. Additional boxes have been provided on the

children’s entry form where you can enter the class number of any additional

classes you intend to enter. If there are insufficient boxes then add additional class

numbers on the back of the form.

In addition to this schedule, hints and tips on how to show exhibits are available on

the show section of the Parish website (www.earlscolne.org) or from the secretary

(tel. 224609).

SECTION F - HANDWRITING

Class 152 - under 8 years

Whenever the moon and stars are set, whenever the wind is high,

All night long in the dark and wet, a man goes riding by.

Late in the night when the fires are out, why does he gallop and gallop about.

Whenever the trees are crying aloud, and ships are tossed at sea,

By, on the highway, low and loud, by at the gallop goes he.

By at the gallop he goes, and then by he comes back at the gallop again.

By Robert Louis Stevenson

Class 160 - 8 to 12 years

T’was midnight in the schoolroom and every desk was shut,

When suddenly from the alphabet was heard a loud “Tut-tut!”

Said A to B “I don’t like C; his manners are a lack.

For all I ever see of C is a semi-circular back!”

“I disagree” said D to B, “I’ve never found C so.

From where I stand, he seems to be an uncompleted O.”

C was vexed, “I’m much perplexed, you criticize my shape.

I’m made like that, to help spell Cat and Cow and Cool and Cape.”

“He’s right,” said E; said F, “Whoopee!” said G, “’Ip, ‘ip ‘ooray!”

“You’re dropping me,” roared H to G. “don’t do it please I pray!”

“Out of my way,” LL said to K “I’ll make poor I look ILL.”

To stop this stunt, J stood in front, and presto! ILL was JILL.

“U know,” said V, “that W is twice the age of me,

For as Roman V is five I’m half as young as he”

X and Y yawned sleepily, “look at the time!” they said.

They all jumped in to beddy byes and the last one in was Z.

By Spike Milligan

whisk. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well between each addition. Add the

flour and beat for a few seconds before adding the chocolate mixture and beat until
