Here is your Show Guide and Schedule of Classes, available to read online or printout as a PDF (recommended).
Some General Tips to Guide You
Here are some general tips for successful showing
• Read the schedule carefully – put the correct number of items
• Soft and hard fruits need to be exhibited with their stalks on
• French beans, runner beans, peas and tomatoes need to be harvested with scissors with some stalk attached
• For root vegetables, such as carrots, cut off leaves to approximately 3 inches
• A set of evenly sized exhibits can be better than the largest (except where large are asked for)
• More unusual herbs are preferred
• Cover all food
• All jams, chutneys and marmalade should be covered with a waxed disc and a new lid of either cellophane or metal
• Label jam, jelly and chutney with type and date
