Dear Exhibitors,
|
|
Thank you for supporting your local Orsett
Show. As you can see from the schedule we have made a few
alterations, these we hope are for the better. We have reduced
the number of classes and have increased the prize money for
the remaining classes with particular regard to floral art.
May I wish you all a successful and
enjoyable day.
