Saturday 24 June
Our summer show is always a wonderful display of colour and scent as there are numerous classes for sweet peas and roses. Other flowers such as delphiniums, sweet williams, pansies and fuchsias all have their own classes as do pot plants and vases of flowers.Classes for fruit and vegetables, such as strawberries, raspberries and other soft fruits, broad beans, beetroot, cabbages, potatoes, peas and many many more.
Floral art is always popular and this year there are three classes and five classes in the domestic section plus one class for eggs from any domestic fowl. The handicraft section is growing fast and attracts entries of a very high standard, with classes for painting or drawing, hand knitting, embroidery, soft toys, sewn garments, canvas work, woodwork, soft furnishings and a separate class for anything other than above.
The junior section has four classes: an article of handicraft, a collection of grasses, a picture created on computer (A4 size) and a garden in a seed tray. The age limit is 16 years and school work may be entered.
Finally the section for photography has three categories: Water; A Single Bloom and A Night Scene (i.e. traffic, buildings, shops). With such a variety there is something for us all, so get out your camera and take your pictures. Maximum size for prints is 7″ x 5″ and entries may be mounted but not framed. Tea and delicious cakes are all on offer all the afternoon and the Show ends with an auction of produce and raffle.
Staging takes place the previous evening by arrangement and on Saturday morning between 10.00a.m. until 12 noon. Doors open in the afternoon at 2.30p.m. and this followed by prizegiving at 3.30p.m. Entry forms are in the 2006 Schedule and can be given to any committee member, or handed in at the Post Office Stores or Stanleys Stores by 2.00p.m. on Friday 23 June. Do come and take part.
