EDITORIAL
Welcome to this year’s Show Schedule.
Those keen eyed members who visit our website will know that we are 70
this year. Not surprisingly you will find that this has been reflected in
some of the Floral Art, Junior and Handicraft classes in the Show
Schedule. In addition there will be a special floral social evening event in
the King Edward Hall on Wednesday 10th June as part of the celebrations
on reaching this landmark. Full details will be given in the Spring
Newsletter. As it will be an all ticket occasion you will need to respond
quickly to make sure that you obtain a ticket and do not miss the social
event of the year (well, perhaps remembering our lovely Christmas
socials I had better make that “one of the two social events of the year”).
Last year I highlighted the fact that our show benches always have very
few of houseplants on them despite almost everyone having several in
their home. My urging you to let us see them on show day fell on
completely stony ground; so how about in our anniversary year you all
entering at least one? Let us have a veritable “forest” of houseplants; let
us make 2015 the Year of the Houseplant.
Being a very democratic organization we have decided to have a vote at
the Summer Show to decide on the winner of class 158. There are not
very many other changes to this year’s schedule as you will see from the
following complete list of them:
Spring Show
Section H - Wine & Liqueur
All the classes have been amalgamated into one which now reads:
One labelled bottle of any alcoholic beverage
Summer Show
158. A simple arrangement in a traditional English teacup of flowers etc
To be judged by the public and the result given at the prize giving – a
special prize will be awarded
5
Autumn Show
In accordance with national guidance the maximum diameter allowed for
the blooms of pompon dahlias has been increased from 52mm to 55 mm
As a result of the lack of entries in recent years there are now no chrysanthemum classes in
the open section, the members classes remain unchanged.
Have a successful horticultural year and I look forward to seeing your
exhibits at our shows.

SHOW RULES
1. Unless otherwise stated in the schedule as ‘OPEN TO ALL’, all exhibitors
other than children must be current members of the Society.
2. The Committee reserves the right to refuse any entry and, in the event
of such refusal, it is not required to give any reason or explanation.
3. No exhibitor may make more than one entry in any one class.
4. Where a number or quantity of plants, flowers, fruit or vegetables is
specified in the schedule for a class, vase, dish or collection, neither
more nor less than the number or quantity may be shown and an
exhibit will be disqualified for any excess or deficiency.
If, before an exhibit is judged, any excess or deficiency is noticed
and considered to be the result of an accident and not of an attempt
to deceive, the Show Superintendent, Show Secretary or Steward
may either give the exhibitor (if at hand) an opportunity to correct
the mistake or correct it himself/herself but the officials shall not be
under any obligation to do so and any disqualification resulting from
an excess or deficiency shall be the exhibitor’s responsibility. The
judges may not correct any error but they may direct the attention of
the Show Superintendent, Show Secretary or Steward to it.
5. Any exhibit that does not conform to the wording of the schedule
(unless corrected in accordance with Rule 4) must be disqualified
and a judge must write on the entry card “Not according to schedule”
(NAS) and add a factual note as to why it is marked NAS.
Single dishes in an NAS collection cannot be considered for any other
award(NAS) and add a factual note as to why it is marked NAS. Single
dishes in an NAS collection cannot be considered for any other award.
6. Any prize may be withheld or modified if the exhibits are considered
unworthy of the prize offered.
7. The decision of the judges shall be final on the relative merits of the
exhibits, but the Committee reserves the right to refer any points in
dispute to the Show Superintendent for a decision.
8. Any protest must be made in writing and delivered to the Show
Secretary within one hour of the opening of the Show to the public.
9. After judging has taken place, no exhibit or part of an exhibit may
be altered or removed until the end of the show, except by special
permission of the Show Superintendent.
10. All exhibits, personal property, etc, shall be at the risk of the
exhibitors and the Society shall not be liable for compensation for
loss or damage from any cause whatsoever. Should a show for any
cause not be held, no exhibitor shall have any claim on the Society.
Exhibitors will be wholly responsible for all claims made by their
own employees under the Common Law or under any statute for
compensation arising out of or in the course of such employment for
injury or otherwise. The Society has no responsibility to any but its
own employees.
11. The exhibitor to whom a cup or other trophy is awarded must return it
to the Show Secretary the following year prior to the appropriate show.
12. The prize for the best exhibits in the Flower, Vegetable (excluding
collections), Pot Plant, Fruit, Cookery and Handicraft classes is £1.00.
13. Unless otherwise stated in the schedule, the prize money in all classes
will be £1.00 for First, 60p for Second and 40p for Third.
14. Where cups or trophies are awarded for most points, these will be awarded
on the basis of: 1st - 5 points, 2nd - 3 points and 3rd - 2 points. Collections,
basket / trug and any special classes are excluded. A `Best Exhibit’ will be
awarded a further 3 points. In the event of a tie for an award decided on
points, the winner shall be the exhibitor gaining the highest total amount
of prize money, including the best exhibit prize money, in the classes for
which the equal number of points has been awarded.
15. Unless the schedule specifically states otherwise, any plant, flower,
fruit or vegetable exhibited must be the property of the person in
whose name it is entered, and must have been grown by the exhibitor
or been in his/her possession or cared for by him/her for at least two
months prior to the date of the show. In the case of a professional
gardener entering produce from the garden in which he/she is
employed the exhibits must be entered in the name of the employer.
16. In order to be satisfied that the conditions governing exhibits are
fulfilled, the Committee reserves the right for its official representative
to visit by appointment, before or after a show, the gardens/allotments
from which plants, flowers, fruit or vegetables have been entered for
exhibition.
17. Unless otherwise stated in the schedule, two or more persons may
not compete separately in the same class with produce from the
same garden and/or allotment. They may however exhibit in joint
names. An exception to this rule however applies in pot plant classes
where two or more persons may exhibit separately in the same class
a different kind of pot plant to those other members of the same
household, provided that the exhibitor is mainly responsibility for the
maintenance of the plant.
18. All exhibits should be correctly named. Errors in naming will not
disqualify the entry but the judges should regard correctness and
clearness of naming as telling in favour of an exhibit in a close
competition. If the exhibitor does not know the name of any cultivar,
the label should bear the words “name unknown”.
19. Plates will be provided by the Society where appropriate and must be
used when shown in the schedule. The Society’s vases must be used

or quantity of a fruit or vegetable.

be conducted in accordance with the rules and standards contained
in the RHS’s ‘The Horticultural Show Handbook 2008 edition’ except
where, under the schedule, they obviously do not apply.
22. When staging an exhibit in ‘any other vegetable’ or ‘any other fruit’
classes the exhibitor should refer to the ‘collections’ staging numbers
(see index ) to ascertain the entry required. However if the exhibit
is not listed they should contact the Show Superintendent (or Show
Secretary) to obtain a ruling on quantities required.

width restriction of 25.5 cm (10 inches) or less, all Flower Arranging
