Saturday 1st Oct 2011


Our annual honey show will be held in conjunction with Fareham Horticultural Association at the St Johns Church Hall, Upper Michaels Grove, Fareham (corner of Redlands Lane) on

The schedule, rules, cake recipe and entry form are enclosed with this notice. Please note that we do also allow the honey to be exhibited in 1lb BSI jars with screw lids.

PLEASE READ THE RULES AND CLASS DETAILS CAREFULLY

Members are encouraged to participate in as many classes as they can. Also, it is quite feasible to multiple enter classes. Say you have medium honey from a previous year and this year, then put them both in and let the judge decide which is better. The wax and confectionery classes can also be multiple entered. For example, you may not think your cake is up to scratch, in which case make another and put them both in. You never know! For the confectionery classes you may use honey from a source which is not your own.

As an association we are fortunate to have several trophies spread over the classes plus prize money, all of which makes the show competitive and interesting. For the last ten years we have had over 100 entries each year. This allows us to award a BBKA BLUE RIBAND which allows the winner free entry to the National Honey Show at some time in the future convenient to them. The show is also open the general public from 1.00 pm, with refreshments available. So why not make the afternoon a family affair!

Please do not leave it to the last minute to make your entries. If you send them early it will mean that your labels and place cards can be returned to you in plenty of time before the show.

Please support your local show and enter as many classes as possible. Remember that you can’t win if you don’t enter!

Finally, if you have an queries regarding the show please don’t hesitate to contact me.

THANKS IN ANTICIPATION OF LOTS OF ENTRIES AND GOOD LUCK!!
