Competitions
New categories for 2009!
 We had a fantastic response to classes in 2008 and we hope this year will be just as successful. You don’t have to be a regular show-goer to take part, instead just a desire to support the local community and to have fun. All entries are very welcome, great and small, however, a high level of last minute show entries last year caused great problems for the stewards and we ask that if possible you get your entry forms in before the 30th August deadline. Entries on the day will only be allowed if space permits.
If you would like to sponsor a class (£6 per class) or would like printed copies of the schedule, please contact Chris on T: 1773 748416 / 07841 011262.
