UPDATED message from the organisers:

The Competition organisation is ticking along nicely, with entries being submitted by enthusiastic gardeners. However, we need to inform you that the committee has reluctantly had to alter the date for the presentation. The presentation will now be held on November 22, beginning at 10:30 and running for about an hour. All other dates remain the same. 

We apologise for this unexpected change but hope that you will still be able to attend the Presentation. An updated entry form is attached for your convenience.
