	EDITORIAL Welcome to this year’s Show Schedule. The 2011 Shows were a great success, and it was particularly pleasing that we had several new entrants. Let us hope that we can build on this and encourage more of you to enter, whilst still retaining all our existing exhibiters. For the benefit of new exhibiters I thought I would explain the difference between the Open, Members and Novices Classes. • Open Classes - these are open to any exhibiter irrespective of whether they are a member of the Society or not. • Members Classes – these are only open to members of the Society. If you are a member you may however also enter exhibits in both the Open and Members classes and many choose to do so. • Novices Classes – these are open to any member who has not previously won a first prize in that particular class, or group of classes, as indicated in the relevant part of the show schedule. If you enter a novice class you may still enter any open or members class of your choice. Staying on the theme of new exhibiters and encouraging them to continue to exhibit, an important change for 2012 is the chance to win a new cup; but only if you qualify to enter any of the Junior Classes. To encourage more juniors to enter these, there will be a cup awarded at each of our three shows, to be held for a year, to the best exhibit from a junior not winning a first prize in the present or a previous show. So please help us to bring this opportunity to the attention of any juniors that you know. There are plenty of interesting topics in the Junior Classes; I am particularly looking forward to seeing lots of Scarecrows (classes 116 and 120) in the Spring Show. In each of the shows there is a new class for members of a jam jar of flowers picked from a garden or allotment. The flowers are not expected to be of a perfect exhibition standard, but what you would expect to find in a home. The aim is to achieve a pleasingly simple effect, not floral art, and this is the basis on which they will be judged. So make sure you have a 450g (1 lb) jam jar handy around show time, the respective class numbers are 49, 210 and 372. The Spring Show also has a new members class (50) called “Mother and Child”. No, we have not gone into crèches, but we do want two pot plants of the same type of plant, where one pot plant has been grown from a cutting of the other pot plant. You can choose any type of plant you like, and both male and female members are encouraged to enter! For the Spring Show, thanks once again to Richard Hilson, we have special class 10 in which to enter blooms of the daffodil “Rosemoor Gold” which the Society sold to members in the autumn. A change has been made for this year in that you may only enter this class if you do not also enter any daffodil blooms in the Open Section A. This has been done in order to encourage the “non daffodil specialists” to enter, so good luck with your entry. You may also like to know that Rosemoor Gold is a Division 7 daffodil, so you may also enter its blooms in classes 9, 11, 16 and 22. Staying with the Spring Show we have clarified that in class 30 you may enter either pansies or violas, the latter are usually looking particularly good at this time of year and there are so many different varieties to choose from, both old and new. The same clarification has been made to classes 134 and 192 in the Summer Show. In the Summer Show there is a new class 211 in the Members Section: Clematis bloom or blooms floating in a bowl • (bring your own bowl the maximum size of which must be 25 cm or 10 in) Not to be out done you will also find two new classes in the Members Section B of the Autumn Show: • 358 Dahlia, one specimen bloom (this can be of any bloom size) • 359 Fuchsias, four blooms, staged in containers supplied by the Society (this is the same class as we already have in the Summer Show but takes account of the fact that fuchsias are often at their best in the autumn) In last year’s schedule I made a special plea for at least one entry into the Autumn Show class of “Grasses, one vase”. Well, you did me proud and there were several fine exhibits, so keep it up and I hope some more of you will now be inspired to try as well. And now in response to requests we have made it even easier for you to do so, as you now have the option of entering this class (370) using a vase or a pot. Elsewhere in the show schedule under the heading “Show Timetable” you will find details of how to submit your entries. Please note that there is a change this year in that entries are not being accepted at Abbott’s Pharmacy or Cloughs. If you do not want to submit them by email or telephone, in addition to delivering them to Pat Whetstone’s address at: 25 Eastern Road; you may also do so to: Debbie Anscombe at 67 Brookway, Lindfield. Those of you who email your entries please remember to use Pat Whetstone’s latest email address: whet25@btinternet.com If you have any suggestions for future changes to the show schedule please let me know. Finally please note that the date shown on the rear cover of this schedule for the May 2012 Coffee Morning of the 5th May is correct, that shown on your membership card is wrong. So please amend your diary accordingly. Have a successful horticultural year and I look forward to seeing your exhibits at our shows. Martin Higgins (martin.lindfield@btinternet.com)
