Show Class

Sunday we visited the Arthington show, which is a small agricultural show in, no not Arthington but nearby Bramhope. Nicola did her usual trick and entered nearly everything. However in all the classes where she was the only entrant she only received “Highly commended”. Was this she asked because of the lack of entrants? Oh no it’s because her entries weren’t good enough.

We were wondering what the judge expected for canvass work, or anything for that matter, because she hadn’t put any comments. With entry numbers low this sort of behaviour doesn’t encourage people to enter. Well Nicola got the Trophy for handicrafts based on the points from all the Highly Commendeds.

So my elephant isn’t a good enough soft toy to get a prize? Well I’m pleased with him even if no-one else likes him.
