I see this has been cancelled - lack of pre entries apparently. Will be a shame as my FB newsfeed certainly seemed to suggest a lot of folk were intending going along on the days.

Sadly no great surprise with the person behind the show ..... he seemingly took on the franchise at the very beginning of the year, but only started putting the schedule together and organizing judges a couple of months ago.
The guy who operates the Festival Association down south is absolutely furious as he feels it reflects badly on him even though he wasn't involved in the organisation ( or disorganization) of this show and also nuts has £2,500 worth if rosettes that were only ordered last week.
I really feel for the venue too as they only took a £100 deposit and are therefore seriously out of pocket. It is then and competitors who have lost out and I hope this person never attempts to run anything again either for himself or anyone else as his track record is pretty appalling
sorry, rant over!!!

Such a shame was planning on entering on the day! Did plan to pre enter but the closing date had passed. Looked to be a really good show

I had entered and got an email today saying that my cheque would be returned.....real shame as I loved the Festival it has such varied classes. Hey Puddledub, you take on the franchise and make it what it used to be
