I hope the plotholders support the event. I am going to have a walk around the plots today to try to encourage folks to enter something. Hope it works
When I get old I don't want people thinking
                      "What a sweet little old lady"........
                             I want em saying
                    "Oh Crap! Whats she up to now ?"

You need a unique exhibit number which you also put on the back of the card.

We had our 3rd show yesterday which our little team of six organises,we've got it down to a very slick operation now and it goes like clockwork.

I had a good day I won the RHS Banksian medal awarded for most points in the horticultuaral classes; first in the vege section and second overall.

Well done Kea, you did really well.  :)

This is the first time I've ever done this, so what exactly do you put on your cards?

On th ;)e front....displayed after judging we put:

Exhibit no: unique number to exhibit which we also put on back of card.
Section no: e.g. our section 1 is Vegetables
Exhibitor no: each exhibitor has a number.

The above is in small print at the top

Then below that in bigger print

Exhibitor: Joe Blogs
Class: 1.02 Beans, French (6)


Variety: Cobra (you need this so people can't enter the same beans in two
entries)

Then on the back put the unique entry number and the varitiey

Well we had the show today at Walsall Rd and I must say that I was pleasantly surprised at how much interest was shown. Next years will most probably be bigger and better.
The flowers below are Bettys winning entry. They are now sitting on my hearth

Photo's from our show on 1 September 2012 can be seen on John's Blog http://allotmentheaven.blogspot.co.uk/
John's our secretary and he also organises our small show committee there are only 6 of us and we've now done 3 shows. This year I won the Vege section and as we are affilliated to the RHS now we had a Banksian Medal to give for the most horticultural points which I won too. I also came second overall.
