The Top Tray Class is for a collection of three types of vegetables taken from the following list of eight. The quantity of each vegetable required for each collection is given in brackets and each type must consist of the same variety:
Carrots(3), Cauliflower(2), Onions(3), Parsnips(3), Peas(6 pods), Potatoes(3), Runner Beans(6 pods), Tomatoes(6).
Each Type of vegetable will be judged out of a total of 20 points. This is split into three sections as follows :
7 points for size, shape and colour: 7 points for condition: 6 points for uniformity. The overall mark will be out of a total of 60.
1 – All vegetables to be displayed for effect. The vegetables must be displayed within an area measuring 18in x 24in (45cm x 60cm), without bending any part of them. No part of any exhibit may exceed the size of the tray. A tray or board measuring 18in x 24in (45cm x 60cm) can be used to display the vegetables, or the area can simply be marked on the staging. Where a tray has a lip or edge, it is the internal measurements that must not exceed 18in x 24in (45cm x 60cm).
2 – A black cloth is permitted, and the tray may be painted. Parsley is allowed for garnishing, but no other foliage or accessories, such as plates, sand, rings and so on, will be allowed. Onion tops may be tied or whipped using raffia or string.
3 – Notes for exhibitors and judges
- Carrots and Parsnips must have foliage trimmed back to 3in(7.5cm)
- Peas and beans must be shown with some stalk attached.
- The tray, board or staging must not be cut or mutilated in any way at all -such as cutting holes to stand onions in.
- Judges should use their discretion when judging this class, remembering that entries may come from inexperienced exhibitors.
- The points awarded should be clearly marked by the judges on the exhibitors’ cards.
- Any queries that may arise regarding anything other than these rules will be decided by the Show Officials.
- Failure to abide by these rules may lead to disqualification.
