2 WELCOME I would like to welcome you to the 2014 Mortimer West End & District Annual Show. Tradition and community life are important to many of us and Mortimer West End and District Annual Show continues, as it always has done, to bring our community together to enjoy each other s company and to enter into a little friendly competition. Each year in August we gather in our village hall and exhibit what each of us has created just as local people have done in this village for generations. Many of you will be aware that this show has been running now for over 100 years with the first held in a meadow adjoining West End Farm in Long may it continue. This year s show will take place on Saturday 23 rd August so please do come along and enjoy the day. If you have any questions about the Rules of Entry which you aren t sure about please feel free to contact one of the committee members for guidance. If you haven t exhibited before please have a go, it s good fun and we are happy to give you guidance if you want it. You ll find the list of committee members and contact numbers on page 4. Our 2013 show was well supported with good entry levels across most classes. We use a panel of independent judges (see page 4) who are experts in their individual fields to judge the various classes and they regularly comment about the quality of our entries in our Show. It is wonderful that a small village show like ours attracts such positive comment. A show like this doesn t just happen and the committee work hard throughout the year to pull it all together. We are always looking for new members so if you would like to join the committee or have ideas or suggestions that you think would make a difference then please do contact us. We could also do with a hand to clear up at the end so if you are able to spare a few minutes to help dismantle stands and tables and pack them away I would be grateful. Finally I would like to thank all our sponsors who give financial support to enable us to fund this event. You will find a full list on page 3 of this schedule and if you would like to be included next year please let us know or you can donate on the day of the Show. Thanks again to everyone who has been involved in making this year s show happen. Nick Munson Chairman THANK YOU CCCCC
