All are welcome, and even one entry is appreciated, as without your effort there will not be a show.&nbsp; The key is to enter for the fun and enjoyment of growing or making things of merit which can be shared and enjoyed with others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is important to understand what\u2019s required e.g. number of stems, type of flower, vegetable or container. Anything wrong will not be judged. Read the class specification and rules of the show.&nbsp; Ask if unsure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Allow time to stage your exhibits as well as possible and to complete your entry labels, attaching them firmly to your items with tape or a staple.<\/strong> The following points may be helpful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Flowers, Foliage and Plants:<\/strong><br>The judges take note of colour, form, condition, quality and freshness of the flowers on display: the vase may be viewed from all directions.&nbsp; Exhibits should, wherever possible, be free from damage due to the weather, pests and disease.&nbsp; Pot plants should be cleared of debris and any dead parts.&nbsp; Dahlias should be circular with closed firm centres: the type of bloom should match the class description.&nbsp; Gladioli should ideally have an erect spike with one third in full bloom, one third in colour and one third in green bud.&nbsp; Roses should be presented with petals regularly arranged in a circular outline with a well-formed centre.&nbsp; Sweet peas should have strong stems with, ideally, 4 well-spaced blooms on each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Vegetables:&nbsp;<\/strong><br>To distinguish home grown from shop bought, exhibits are in general displayed with stalks\/roots attached. Size is not the overriding consideration: the judges will also take account of shape, colour, condition and, where appropriate, uniformity.&nbsp; Beans should be straight, a good green colour and with no outward sign of the seeds.&nbsp; Beetroot and turnips should have an undamaged tap root, and be about tennis ball size with a smooth, clean, uniform skin.&nbsp; The tops should be cut off to 75mm (3\u201d) and tied with raffia or string.&nbsp; Carrots should be of good shape, colour and equal size with clean skin and no side roots. Treat the tops as for beetroot. Courgettes should be shapely, 100-150mm (4-6\u201d) in length and well matched.&nbsp; Cucumber should be fresh, green and straight with uniform thickness.&nbsp; Lettuce should have any damaged leaves removed and the roots cut off.&nbsp; Onions and shallots should be of even size, the roots trimmed and outer papery leaves removed; so that they sit up straight, onions are often placed on a wooden\/cardboard ring and shallots on a paper plate in dry sand.&nbsp; Tie tops at the thinnest part of the neck and cut immediately above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Fruit:&nbsp;<\/strong><br>Where possible, display with stalks attached.&nbsp;&nbsp; Rhubarb should be fresh, straight with a well-developed red colour.&nbsp; The leaves should be trimmed back to 50mm (2\u201d) and the stem tied at both ends with raffia or string.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"officebearers\"><strong>Office bearers, Committee members and Patrons<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>BORGUE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY 2023<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>President:<\/strong> Mark Paterson<br>(tel 860 466)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-right\" data-align=\"right\"><strong>Vice President:<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Alex Nixon<br>(tel 870 333)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Honorary Treasurer:<\/strong>&nbsp; Anne Bannatyne<br>(tel 870 138)<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-right\" data-align=\"right\"><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Honorary Secretary:<\/strong>&nbsp; Jo Mercer&nbsp;<br>(tel 870149)<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-right\" data-align=\"right\"><strong>Entry Secretaries:&nbsp; <\/strong>Angela Paul<br>(tel 870 202)<br>Sarah McCarthy<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Committee:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td>Alec Paterson&nbsp;<\/td><td>Matthew Moodie<\/td><td>Steve Maddox<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Philip Mathieson<\/td><td>Syd Davison<\/td><td>John Shields<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Rachel Lucas<\/td><td>Gabrielle Shields<\/td><td>Mark Nixon<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Lynne Kirk<\/td><td>Fiona Proctor<\/td><td>Kathy Sproat<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>New committee members are always welcome \u2013 experience of gardening is not essential<\/em><\/strong><em>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Society Patrons:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mrs S Finlay&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Mrs E Caig&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; M Nixon<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">W Sproat&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Mrs E Watson&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; R Raphael<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">J Armstrong&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Mrs I Bell&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Dr A Muir<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mrs &amp; Mrs I Steele&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Rt.Rev.
