Timetable
Whether this is the first time you have entered our show or you are a returning exhibitor, the timetable is as follows:
First, as far in advance as possible, check the list of classes to see what you would like & are able to enter. A bit of planning really helps especially when there are requirements such as tying the onion/garlic tops! Read the rules and check for additional information in the FAQs.
