NOTICE TO EXHIBITORS

Important Changes to the Schedule

In 2018 we introduced several changes to the Schedule to reflect lack of participation and dwindling popularity in certain classes. Whilst we aim to offer a wide choice of classes, certain sections have seen a gradual decline in entries for a variety of reasons over recent years. We therefore reluctantly took the decision to withdraw some classes from our schedule.

After consultations with Poynton Flower Club, The Floral Art Classes have been discontinued.

Although, we have retained the Rose Classes for this year, it is possible that they will be withdrawn for future shows. There are a small number of rose classes in other sections, which will be retained.

LATE ENTRIES

Owing to a limited number of volunteers, we continue to experience difficulties in registering entries and producing class cards and allocating table space when entries are submitted after the deadline. In past years this has meant volunteers working through the Thursday night in order to process and print-off the 100’s of class cards needed for collection before staging at 6.00pm on Friday evening. To avoid this we have now changed the deadline for entries to be submitted. The new deadline for entries is now 8.00pm of the Wednesday before the Show. Entry forms which list the exhibits you are bringing to the show should be sent to us before 8pm on Wednesday 21st August. This deadline is set because we have to print off 100s of class cards and make sure there is enough table space for each of the exhibits in the Horticulture tent. In exceptional circumstances we will still accept late entries, but our volunteer team really doesn’t want to have to stay up all Friday night printing out additional class cards and rearranging tables. If you think you will miss the deadline just email your list of entries to the Horticulture section show secretary Mrs.Jill Share Email [email protected] You can pay for your entries on the Friday evening when you bring your exhibits, but remember we are unable to issue concessionary exhibitor

passes or car park permits for late entries unless pre-ordered before the deadline. Please only submit late entries as an unavoidable exception rather than as the norm.….. Thank You.

Poynton Horticultural & Agricultural Society

The Society was founded in 1885 and its Show has been an annual highlight of the Poynton scene for well over a century.

Nowadays, Poynton Show attracts exhibitors and visitors from all over the UK and North West. It has become a large regional one-day event, providing enjoyment for all the family. It is organised and staged entirely by unpaid volunteers.

Help us to maintain this fine tradition by becoming a Vice-President of the Society. For a modest annual subscription, you will receive a Vice- President's badge entitling free entry to the show and access to the Vice- President's Enclosure on the showground with its own licenced catering facilities. Junior memberships for younger members of the family, are also available at modest cost.

Apply here : https://poyntonshow.co.uk/about-the-show/vice-president/

Additionally, as a member, you are entitled to attend the general meetings of the society and have your say in how the Society and its Show are run.

If you wish to take a more active role in staging the Show, why not become a volunteer to one of our sections? Whatever your expertise, your energy would be most welcome!

Important Notice to all Exhibitors

Exhibitor Passes & Car Park Permits (Rule 17)

The following conditions govern the issue of exhibitor's passes and car park permits and replace all previous arrangements.

Exhibitor passes

To encourage more people to enter exhibits we offer a discount price of £5 for an exhibitor pass (compared with £10 for an online ticket or £15 for tickets bought at the show gate) which will allow access to the whole Show Field during the Show. You do not need a pass when you bring your exhibit(s) or remove your exhibit(s) when the show is not open to the general public. If you wish to purchase an exhibitor pass you must include it on the official entry form which lists which classes you are entering. You will pick up the exhibitor pass along with your class cards when you drop off your entries before the show. As an added incentive to participate, we will count your entries as free upto the value of your exhibitors pass, so the maximum you will pay for an exhibitor pass and up to 13 entries is still just £5. The minimum requirement is single entry, but only those entries actually staged on show day will qualify. When you bring your exhibits to the Horticultural Tent on Friday 23rd (6pm- midnight) or Saturday 24th (6am-8.15am) please go to the Secretary’s table to collect your exhibitor pass and class cards and we will show you where to place your entries.

Car Park Permits

You do not need to buy a car park permit if you wish to access the Show Field to bring an exhibit before the show opens or collect an exhibit after the show closes. If you want to park on the Show Field during the Show you can buy a car park permit at £5, along with your exhibitor pass which also costs £5. You cannot buy a car park permit without also purchasing an exhibitor’s pass. Only one exhibitor’s pass and one car park permit per entrant is allowed and you must submit your entry form before the deadline of 8.00pm of Wednesday before Show Day. Non-exhibitors need a normal entry ticket. Please go to the Secretary’s table in the Horticulture tent to collect your car park permit, if you ordered one, when you collect your Class Cards & Exhibitors Pass Friday 23rd (6pm-midnight) or Saturday 24th (6am-8.15am). We will count your exhibitors entry fees as free of cost up to the value of the combined total of your Exhibitors Pass and Car Park Permit (25 entries) Additional entries over this will be charged the normal entry fee. Free Parking, not on the show field, is available at Towers farm, a short walk away from the Show Field. Location details available from the Show Secretary, Show Website, or follow the direction signs on Show Day.

Not entered a Show before? - Read this!....... Many folk are reticent about entering shows because they are unsure about the procedures, or they think they stand little chance of achieving a prize. The only certainty of not achieving an award is not to enter, but how many times have you wandered past show exhibits and said to yourself 'I've got better than that at home!'. - So this year, give it a go and enter! Below are some initial guidelines to help you get started. There are lots of rules and regulations in this brochure and if you have never exhibited before it may be confusing. Don’t give up! Please phone Anne Gunning on 01625 850836 and she will help you.

1. Read the Show Rules and the Schedule carefully and decide in which sections you are eligible to enter. If it's called an 'Open' Section or Class, anybody can enter. A 'Novice' section is usually restricted to exhibitors that have never won a first prize in any show before. A 'Local' section means that the exhibitor has to reside within the Parish of Poynton-with- Worth (SK12 postcode). Some specialised classes may be 'closed', i.e. restricted to members of particular societies such at the British Gladiolus Society that is holding its own show within the main show. Unless you are a member you will not be eligible to enter these classes. 'Junior' sections are free to enter and will have an age restriction.

2. Have a look at your growing produce and decide which you want to enter in the show and then look through the schedule until you find a class that fits your exhibit. Make a note of the class number.

3. Nurture your exhibit to make sure it doesn't get attacked by pests or diseases or spoiled by the weather. Then near the show day enter your exhibits onto the entry form and pay your entry fee before the deadline for entries.

4. Immediately before taking your exhibits to the show, select and prepare them. You are looking for exhibits that are as near perfect and unblemished as possible, so only select those that have not been attacked by pests or diseases, are not miss-shapen, and have no damage. Some classes specify a certain number of items, such as pods of peas, so make sure you have enough, or that the roots or leaves be left on, so don't cut them off! Your exhibit may need to be cleaned to remove any dust or mud splashes and this can done using clean water and possibly a soft brush that won't damage the produce.

5. Take your prepared exhibits to the showground at the specified time and report to the horticulture tent where you will be given a class card for each exhibit. The show officials will show you where to place your exhibit(s) and your class card(s) Your class card has a unique number to identify your entry. Your name must be hidden from the judge, but the name of the variety should be visible.

6. That's all there is to it! It's now down to the judges to make their decision and for you to collect your prize (hopefully) Good Luck!

LATE ENTRIES For many years the Committee have accepted entries received after the deadline of 8.00p.m. on the Thursday before Show Day (Late Entries) as a concession to exhibitors who have genuine or exceptional difficulty in meeting this deadline. It is necessary to impose this deadline to allow time for the entries to be processed, class cards produced and sufficient table space to be allocated. However, growing numbers of exhibitors are presenting their entry forms at a very late stage on the Friday evening before the show. As many as 20% of all exhibitors presented their entry forms after the deadline for last year's show. This presents an unacceptable burden on the limited voluntary manpower we have available, at a time when there are many other pressing demands to complete arrangements for the show. While we wish to continue this concession for genuinely exceptional circumstances (unlike many other shows), we do ask all exhibitors to be aware of the difficulties of dealing with this high proportion of late entries. Please ensure that your entries meet the new Wednesday evening deadline wherever possible, even by sending them in by e-mail, (with payment to be made when you collect your class cards), and only submit late entries as an unavoidable exception rather than as the norm. Thank You.
