Welcome It is with great excitement that I sit down to write this introduction

for the 2014 Schedule. As you may know we are returning –

hopefully triumphantly – to the Brunton for our Annual Show in

August.

Due to space restrictions over the past four years in Our Lady of

Loretto Church Hall we have had to restrict our number of classes

and subsequently our exhibitors have reduced. The opposite is true

of the Brunton where we have a huge space to fill with all manner of

exhibits. Indeed in this Schedule there is a class for absolutely

everything from pots of jam, needlework and knitting; home baking,

painting and photography; floral art, pot plants, cut flower and

vegetables; novelty, junior and senior sections. The perfect

opportunity, in fact, for the whole family, from grandparents to the

kids, to have a great day out. Attractions will include face painting

for children, tombola, cake and candy, teas, and a Grand Prize Raffle.

This morning - mid November - sees the first 'proper' frost of the

winter and it is time to cut back, tidy up and plant the tulips.

Somehow this job does not seem quite so tedious as usual after the

delightful warm summer we have had and the flowers in the garden

have had an extended stay of execution. With any luck the summer

of 2014 will be the same or even better and the choice of flowers to

pick from for the Show benches will be extensive.

I and my Committee look forward very much to welcoming you to

our Grand Annual Flower Show on Saturday 30 August.

Guide for Exhibitors

If you are reading this section the chances are you have never entered exhibits into a Flower Show. The first message to you has to be a big 'Welcome'. You will have no doubt heard of Shows where a three foot carrot is a short one, of chrysanthemums the size of footballs and onions where a single one could feed an army. They possibly do exist but it's very unlikely they will at our Show. We encourage all our members and their families to take part, purely and simply for the joy of the occasion. The show is a celebration of all things to do with amateur gardening; most importantly, it relies on you. Without your prize exhibit we simply don't have a Show. Hopefully these simple guidelines will help you select and prepare your exhibit. If you need further help, members of the Committee are more than happy to assist. First a couple of very general tips, followed by some specific help:

Make sure you have entered your exhibit into the correct Class; if in doubt ask a Committee member when you're setting it up.

Make sure you allow plenty of time to set up your exhibit; the more attractive it looks the better it will do.

Flowers

Flowers should appear fresh Care should be taken to support the flower spike or bloom vertically

using paper, moss, etc.

Don't crush flowers together, especially in the mixed vase classes. Points are deducted if:

1. flowers are not fully opened or are beginning to fade 2. foliage is diseased 3. petals are eaten, diseased or damaged 4. flowers have been badly dressed (in other words, they look

untidy) 5. there is any soil, compost or other debris on the leaves,

stem or blooms A special note for Gladioli: the ideal flower spike has one third in full bloom, one third with buds in colour and one third with green buds.

– 5 –

Vegetables

Try to exhibit uniform sized and shaped vegetables, for example: three straight and similarly sized carrots.

Use as near blemish free and fresh as possible.

Clean using sponge and water, try to avoid any damage.

A few specifics:

1. Beets, Carrots, Parsnips and Turnips should have about 7 cm of stalk; they look tidier if you tie the stalks together.

2. Onions should preferably be ripe; again, tie the top to tidy up.

3. Cauliflower should have a 5 cm stalk.

4. Pot Leeks should have a maximum blanch of 15 cm.

5. Tomatoes should have a 2.5 cm stalk left on.

6. Rhubarb should be pulled, not cut and left with no more than 5 cm of leaf stalk.

Fruit

Fresh as you can get.

Apples should have stalk left attached.

Homecrafts

The presentation of jam is very important:

Use a jam jar – you can never get the smell of vinegar off pickle and chutney jars.

Cover jam with a wax disc before sealing with a paper, clear seal or a metal lid.

Label the jar clearly with the type of jam and date.

Bannocks There seems to be numerous regional definitions of a bannock, so we have decided not to dictate the flavour, size or technique but leave that to you; however we have included a few recipes below to give you some ideas.

Fife Bannock

6 oz flour, pinch of salt, 4 oz oatmeal, 1 teaspoon sugar, '/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda, 1 oz butter, 3/4 teaspoon cream of tartar, about 6-8 tablespoons milk. Set oven to 425°F or Mark 7. Put all the dry ingredients into a bowl and rub in the butter. Mix into a dough with just sufficient milk so that it leaves the sides of the bowl clean. Turn out on to a floured surface, knead lightly and press or roll out into a large round about 3” inch thick. Cut into 4 quarters, put on to a greased baking sheet and bake in the oven for about 20 to 25 minutes until light golden brown. Alternatively, bake on a greased hot girdle. Serve sliced through with plenty of butter and raspberry jam

Selkirk Bannocks 8 oz. flour, ½ teaspoon salt, 1 ½ oz. butter, 1 ½ oz granulated sugar, ¼ pt warm milk, ½ oz. fresh yeast, 8 oz. sultanas and beaten egg to glaze. Butter a 1 Ib. loaf tin. Dissolve the sugar in the milk and stir in the yeast until thoroughly mixed. Leave in a warm place for 15 minutes. Meanwhile sift the flour and salt into a bowl. Add the butter and rub in. Make a well in the centre and pour in the yeast mixture. Mix together vigorously until it forms a soft dough. Turn on to a floured surface. Knead gently and shape into a ball. Transfer to a greased bowl, cover and leave to rise in a warm place for 30 minutes. Then work in the sultanas with the hands so they are evenly distributed. Re-form the dough ball and leave to rise for 30 minutes. Finally transfer to the tin; leave to rise for 45 minutes. Brush with beaten egg. Bake for 20 minutes in a pre-heated oven at 175°C/350°F or Mark 4 until golden in colour. Turn on to a wire rack to cool. Serve sliced thinly and buttered.

Pitcaithly Bannock 8 oz. flour, 4 oz. butter, 2 oz. caster sugar, 1 oz. chopped almonds, 1 oz. mixed candied peel Set oven to 160°C /325 °F or Mark 3. Grease a baking sheet. Sift the flour into a bowl. Add the sugar and butter and rub in to form a dough. Add the almonds and the mixed peel, making sure they are evenly distributed. Form into a thick round on a lightly floured surface and prick all over with a fork. Place on the sheet and bake for about 45-60 minutes. Allow to cool and serve sliced thinly and buttered
