Default Book on show preparation?

snip
I just feel that the members ought to know what basic rules they nee to
follow to obtain points. someone has suggested the RHS book so I shall
try and get that although the Veg. Society has said not to bother at the
moment as their is a new one coming out soon!


Of course some exhibitors don't help themselves by displaying 6 or 4
tomatoes when the class says 5

Ask the show secretary if they need any extra judges stewards. I did the job
for the first time this year and it was most informative to listen to the
judges discussing the exhibits as they went round. This years lot were very
helpful to the exhibitors as well. If they had to Not According to Schedule an
exhibit they wrote the reason on the card, but not all judges do this. The book
is very helpful and stresses the importance of things like uniformity.
