We have introduced a new class to our National Championships Schedule to encourage
more of our members to exhibit and also to showcase a wider variety of
vegetables.
The class is as follows:
Collection of Four Kinds of Vegetables - 15 points and under
Three specimens of each kind, to be staged in space 600mm
frontage x 750mm deep. Exhibitors’ own staging and black cloth allowed however
no backboard permitted.
There is an extensive selection of vegetables classed 15
points and under to choose from. This will be a new challenge for all our
members, so if you have had success at local or Branch shows, why not aim to
enter this new class in 2023. The National Championships will be held in Newby
Hall, Ripon from the 15th to 17th of September.
