The Enfield Town & Country Show Horticultural Tent Schedule 2016 Incorporating the Annual Show of THE FLORAL ART SOCIETY
PRIZE GIVING Sunday, 25th September 2016 at 4pm Entries can be collected after the prize giving is finished.
This year, 2016, due to the size of the tent and the small number of volunteers involved in organising, there will only be the following sections: Flowers, Fruit, Vegetables, Floral Art and a limited Children’s section. There will be no Prize Money, only certificates. Children’s section winners will receive Gold, Silver or Bronze medals and a certificate. It is hoped that next year, 2017, others will volunteer to come and help organise/sponsor other sections like cakes, preserves and a variety of craft classes which are normally part of the Enfield Town Show.
How to Enter Pre-Register your entry to allow us to plan the layout of the tent. To be an official entry of the Horticultural Show, please complete both pages of the entry form (pages 8/9) and send it to the address below, before the deadline. CLASS
