entrance of the main marquee no later than 12 noon (no need to pre-
enter). The grand weigh-in will take place outside the marquee later in the
afternoon. We will be providing seed potatoes at our Spring Show, but you
could chose your own variety if you prefer. Any potato not grown in a 10

more details.

ing the year. Lots of pictures too! Visit http://www.bucksvoice.net/mrhs.

you can!) that counts. The show schedule has a wide range of possibilities
for entering so give exhibiting a try!

where help could please be offered. (phone Mick White 018443 46536)
