19 Showing for the first time hints and tips How to enter 1. Obtain a Schedule of classes from outlets such as the Post Office, the Library, the Little Tipple, contact the Secretary or download a copy from our website 2. Decide which classes you wish to enter. Check all instructions. 3. Fill in the entry form, following the instructions on the form. 4. Make sure that the entry form is submitted with the relevant entry fees as per the Schedule no later than 5.30pm on the Thursday before the Show. On Show Day The Schedule will tell you when the hall will be open for setting up your entry. 1. Give yourself plenty of time to get to the hall and set up your entry, as the hall can get very busy. Bring your schedule along. 2. It is a good idea not to bring your entry into the hall straight away. 3. First, find the Show Secretary (or deputy) who will normally be near the main entrance. 4. The Show Secretary will give you an exhibitor card. Each card has two numbers on it: one is the number of the class you have entered and the other is the number to identify you. 5. Check the details on the card are correct. 6. Find the place(s) in the hall for your class(es). Ask a steward for assistance, if you need it. They are there to help you. 7. Then bring in your exhibit and put it in place on the table, together with your exhibitor s card. 8. If there is no room left for your exhibit, speak to a steward who will help you. Do NOT move any other exhibit yourself. 9. If you have entered more than one class (and we hope you will!), double check you have put out the right exhibit, in the right place, with the right card and it is consistent with the Schedule. 10. You must leave the hall when requested to do so when judging is about to start. After the Judging 1. Return to the hall when the Show opens to the public to find out how the judge liked your exhibit. 2. Take your time to chat and share advice with other competitors, who may have been too busy to talk to you in the setting up stage of the show. 3. At the end of the Show, remove your exhibit, encouraged by the experience and keen to do better next time! 15
