WELCOME TO THE 2016 SHOW
ASSOCIATION RULES
Read the details in the Schedule. If you require any explanations or if something is not clear then contact the Secretary – Karen Jones on 650100.
Plan ahead. Before Registration night study the Schedule. Mark which classes you plan to enter. Count them up to get an idea of how many Registration Cards you will need. Get organised between Registration night and Show day. Fill out a Registration Card for each entry legibly and IN PENCIL. If your exhibit fails just before the show, you can amend the details and enter another class. On Show morning time is precious. Pair up your entries and cards at home, arrive early and set out your exhibits in plenty of time. After the Show please donate as many of your exhibits to the auction as possible. This boosts Show funds and makes it easier walking home as you won’t be able to carry all those trophies and that prize money as well as your exhibits!

“The Grobes” by Roald Dahl
In the quelchy quaggy sogmire,
In the mashy mideous harshland,
At the witchy hour of gloomness,
All the grobes come oozing home.
You can hear them softly slimeing,
Glissing hissing o’er the slubber,
All those oily boily bodies,
Oozing onward in the gloam.
So start to run! Oh, skid and daddle
Through the slubber slush and sossel!
Skip jump hop and try to skaddle!
All the grobes are on the roam!
If you are able to help in the running of the Produce Show, please contact one of the organising committee. Setting up the tables on the day prior to the show, and dismantling afterwards, are particularly time-consuming tasks.
