Wenvoe Village Show
THIS IS OUR OWN LOCAL SHOW. A chance for some friendly local competition. You don’t need to be an expert. This is the last time the show will be organised by the Scout Group, the newly formed Allotment Group will hopefully run it in future. Lets all make an effort to enter at least one item in this year’s show.
The show is limited to entries from people who live in the Wenvoe Community (Wenvoe, Parc y Gwenfo, Twyn-y-Odyn, St Lythans, Dyffryn) and children who attend the village school. Anyone who has regular connections with a village organisation but resides outside the community boundary and would like to submit an entry should contact the organisers. Contact via wenvoescoutgroup@ googlemail.com or any of the section leaders.
Entries to be registered at the Community Centre between 9.00 and 11.30am. The hall will then be closed until 2.00pm for the judging to take place and reopened from 2.00 to 4.30pm for the public to view the exhibits. From 4.00pm there will be a chance to sample some of the winning culinary entries yourself. If you wish to reclaim your entries they should be collected between 4.30pm and 5.00pm. Tea, coffee and squash will be available throughout the afternoon. Children’s section entries can be registered on Friday evening between 7.30 and 8.30pm.
Entry Fee. – 50p per section or as many sections as you wish for £3. Children's entrance fee is 20p per category or £1 for as many sections as you wish. The children’s section is limited to persons under the age of 16 years but they can also enter items in any other category in the show as well.
