67th Annual Show
Drimpton Village Hall
Saturday 11th August 2012
Your chance to make a splash!
Everyone will have taken a battering in this rather mixed weather we've been "enjoying" so we are all in the same boat - if you think your courgettes aren't doing well, you should see mine, rubbish!
There are classes in all sorts of categories, you'd be hard-pressed not to find something you could have a go at! The printed list, advice and entry form may be found in the Schedule - if you haven't had one yet, please contact Rosemary, Brian or Barbara.
Please hand your entry forms in by the Wednesday before the Show (that's Wed. 8th August). You can bring your exhibits along on the Friday evening to the hall and set them up, any time between 8 and 9 pm, or on the Saturday morning from 8.30 am.
If you haven't submitted an entry by the Wednesday deadline - don't panic - additional items may be added up to 10.15 am on Show Day - at the discretion of the Show Secretary. (You could have problems with a late entry into a Class where space is limited - things like Flower Arranging and Handicraft).
Have a go - and Good Luck!
The Potato Growing Competition Weigh-In.
Bring your container (from 2:15pm) with the seed potato you planted from Potato Day, and hopefully a crop hiding in there somewhere. Yours has probably got the blight and died back - most have, but there will be something to weigh.
