Annual Show Schedule

SCHEDULE FOR ANNUAL FLOWER AND PRODUCE SHOW 2017

  • This is the centrepiece of the horticultural year and the show for all the family. There are classes for fruit, vegetables, cookery, jam, handicrafts and photographs. Again there are several classes for children judged in two age groups 4-7 years and 8-14 years. There are now a magnificent 17 cups to be awarded at this show, as well as substantial prize money. The cup is also awarded for the Best Cultivated Allotment (see p7 for more details).
    At the Annual Flower and Produce Show we have higher prizes for selected classes in those vegetable and display classes marked Category C. In addition, to encourage entries in the collection of vegetables classes, the exceptional cash prize for the OV Watney Cup is being continued as follows:
    1st Prize £25.00
    2nd Prize £10.00
    3rd Prize £5.00
    The prize money makes Charlbury Annual Flower and Produce Show comparable with other shows in the neighbourhood. So, about Christmas time, put your feet up by the fire and study the Schedule carefully. Plan your growing season and then imagine how you will spend your winnings!
    Class 62 is a novice class in the Section D Collections where a novice is defined as an exhibitor who has never won a prize in Class 60 or 61.
    So, why not make an effort to exhibit this year? Particularly if you've never done before. Our "catch all" Display Classes in Section F have proved popular and in the past have won the Best in Show. Class 68 is a display of material from a small garden including some plant material. Class 69 is a "Family Class" comprising a trilogy of vegetables, flowers and something cooked - this is designed to be a group family effort and must include a contribution from at least one child under 15.
    Don't forget to check out the Guide to Showing and the useful definitions of terms.
