Timetable & what to expect

 

Whether this is the first time you have entered our show or you are a returning exhibitor, the timetable is as follows:

 

First, as far in advance as possible, check the list of classes to see what you would like & are able to enter. A bit of planning really helps especially when there are requirements such as tying the onion/garlic tops!  Read the rules and check for additional information in the FAQs.

 

Friday, xxxx

9.00pm Deadline for ALL entries, either online, by email or in the box at the Flower Stall in Alton Priors.  See below for entry forms.  

 

Sunday, xxxx

08.45am – 10.45pm    The hall is open for the staging of exhibits.

Please park to the rear of the hall.  As you enter the hall, have your entry money ready and you will be issued with pre-printed tickets (with a unique exhibitor number & the relevant class number) for each class entered.  You may find it helpful to have your own list of classes entered.  The hall is laid out with an allocated section for each class. Don't forget that you may need to bring paper plates (small if possible as space is limited) for displaying some fruit/vegetables.  There are tables and watering cans for your use outside the hall.    All exhibitors must leave the hall by 10.45.

 

11.00am – 1.00pm       

Hall closed to public whilst Judging takes place.

The show opens to the public and exhibitors.  Certificates for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place will be displayed on the benches alongside the winning entries. Fabulous refreshments (a selection of home made cakes with tea and coffee) are available and raffle tickets will be on sale. 

 

3.30pm 

Everything stops for prize giving! Our show cups and other prizes, including Best Exhibit in Show are awarded.  After prize giving, you are given the opportunity to remove your exhibits &/or any special containers if you don't want them to be auctioned. Unclaimed produce will be auctioned (all proceeds go towards maintenance/running of the Coronation Hall that serves Alton Barnes, Alton Priors & Honeystreet) following the raffle.

 

5.00pm                          

The Show closes.  Any offers of help clearing up are gratefully received.
