HOW IT WORKS

Browse the schedule and decide what to enter. You can enter as many or as few as you like. And you don’t need to be an expert, everyone is welcome and encouraged to take part.

Complete the entry form at the back of this Schedule. Copies are fine if you run out of room! Drop your entries with the fee (just 30p per entry for adults and free for 16&under) to one of the homes listed by the closing date.

Bring your entries to the Mechanics Institute between 7:30 and 9:30am on Show Day. There will be people there to show you what to do.

Come back at 1:30pm to see who has won, look at all the entries and enjoy some tea & cake.
Raffle, trophies and auction take place at 4:15.
 
The organising committee is planning to put on the show with appropriate safety precautions in place as per government guidance at the time so we can all enjoy our annual celebration of our growing and creative efforts.
