Wow! hasn't the last 12 months gone quick. It's Show Time again and as in past years we are looking for support from the district to enter in the sections designated for the NR Ralston Centre.

This part of the show is always a talking point and the entries from the various entrants in all sections are a great credit to their makers.

Again there is a section in the schedule most people can enter be they craft people, cooks, flower growers, woodworkers, vegetable and fruit growers, pot plant growers, floral artists, children with their drawings, art work and craft, cookery and floral work, artists and pencil drawers and the different clubs around the area with entries in the Club Exhibit - great prize money there.

Displays of school work from the district schools is always an attraction and the entries from the Senior citizens in hostels and homes show that they can still take part in Arts and Crafts.

The ladies committee will be at the Showgrounds from Wednesday, 14 October to Monday, 19 October 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. and then also at the Laundromat in Binney Street on Thursday, 15 October and Friday, 16 October from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.

Help make this Show a great Show - there are lots of craft and patchwork groups in the area as well as those who do their own work at home, so we should be overwhelmed with entries.

Schedules are available from the Gazette Office and Burtons Haberdashery & Clothing.
