Can anyone tell me or better still quote the paragraph in the RHS rules
that says that affiliated Clubs MUST allow open competition, i.e, not
confine it to members only or worse still (in this case) confine it to
"only members who live within 5 miles of the venue".

I've just looked through my copy of "The Horticultural Show Handbook" from
the RHS and cannot find anything about closed or open shows.
I suggest you e-mail the RHS Advisory Service and ask them.
