Rules For Entries
Yes - we are just a village show but as an RHS affiliated society, with an opportunity to win an RHS medal, it is important we have a few rules to help all entrants be clear on what is expected. There's not many but please do read before submitting your entry form.
1. All individual classes are FREE to enter. All class entrants are automatically designated Association members from the day of the Show for 12 months. You do not need to do anything as a member and can opt out if wanted by ticking the box on the Entry form.
2. Entries can be submitted via this website using the entry form provided. Alternatively, entrants can send completed entry forms, as printed in the Show programme to Barbara Tegg, Greenbanks Halt, Back Lane, Shrewley, CV35 7BD or Hazel Pulley, The Coach House, Queen’s Drive, Rowington, CV35 7DA by the end of Wednesday 29 July. This deadline is so that volunteers have time to write your class cards and sufficient space may be reserved for all entries so they can be exhibited to their best effect. The Committee reserves the right to refuse late entries.
3. The Flower Show is aimed at encouraging local gardeners to improve their domestic produce and prizes will be awarded to the entries which, in the opinion of the judges, have achieved the highest standard.
