3. An item which has won a prize in a previous Werrington Show may not be entered.
4. Handicrafts must be the bona fide work of the exhibitor. Unless otherwise clearly stated in a class, computer sourced or generated images are not acceptable for drawings and designs.
5. An Adult is a person aged 17 years or older on Show Day. However a Junior is permitted to enter an Adult class (also see Rule 11).
6. The age category for entrants with Special Educational Needs may be adjusted downwards on request. Any requests will be considered by the Show committee on a case by case basis.
7. Entries are limited to TWO per person per class, unless otherwise stated.
8. There are two methods of entering: Either use the on-line Entry Form or use the Entry Form in a printed Schedule, delivered by hand or by mail to one of the addresses stated on the home page. As long as we have received your details by the due time, the Entry Fee may be paid on the morning of the Show when exhibits are staged.
9. Entry Forms must be received not later than 8:00 pm on the Wednesday preceding Show Day. The Entry Fee is 30p per exhibit except where otherwise stated in the Schedule.
10. Exhibits must be staged on Show Day between 8:30 am and 11:15 am, after this time no exhibits will be accepted. Late or erroneously classified entries cannot be accepted. Exhibitors must leave before judging commences at 11:30 am.
11. Judges’ decisions should be accepted with good grace, they may withhold prizes where they consider exhibits to lack merit.
    Entries not according to this Schedule, or occupying a larger than stated area, will be marked ‘NAS’ and not judged.
12. Points are awarded to placed entries; these count towards trophies. A Junior may enter Adult classes but any points earned will not count towards a Junior trophy or award. The points scale is weighted, taking into consideration the number of entries in each class and thus the competition. Prize Money is only awarded for the Junior Classes, except where stated otherwise in the Schedule. First Place £1.00 Second Place 70p Third Place 50p. Certificates will be awarded for First Place in the Adult classes.
13. Trophies and Awards will be presented at 5:00 pm following which the Prize Money will be paid out. Monies not collected within one week after Show Day will go into our funds.
14. Exhibits may be removed after the presentation of the trophies and awards, we do ask that they remain on display until this time. It is the responsibility of exhibitors to arrange collection of their exhibits as we cannot guarantee their safe keeping. Exhibits will be removed after 5:30 pm.
15. Trophies and Prizes are awarded as listed. Named trophies remain the property of the Werrington Show Society, any loss or damage whilst in the care of the recipient must immediately be reported to the Secretary. Winners may engrave their name on a trophy, but at their own expense.
16. It is our practice to make a photographic record of exhibits, events and trophy presentation during each Show. A selection of these images may subsequently be uploaded to our website, Facebook page or other social media.
