The Llanfechain Top Vase class is for a vase of mixed flowering stems containing a total of between 5 and 10 stems, taken from a minimum of two different kinds of plants. Note that it is 2 different kinds of plants, 2 varieties of the same plant are not 2 kinds. 2. The display will be judged out of a total of 35 points, split into 25 points for the colour, form, condition, quality and freshness of the flowers on display, and 10 marks for the overall presentation and effect of the flowers in the vase. The vase will be viewed from all directions, judging of the flowers should be to the normal rules used for other classes. 3. Stems displayed must be showing flowers only; no seed heads or berries will be allowed. 4. The vase can be any shape and size and made from any material, but must be in proportion to the display. No marks are awarded for the vase itself. 5. No accessories whatsoever such as bows and additional foliage will be allowed. Foliage which is growing naturally from the flowering stem, and still attached to that stem, is allowed. Packing material, including Oasis, to keep the stems in place is allowed. 6. The winner of the Llanfechain Top Vase class will receive a Llanfechain Certificate plus prizes to the value of £10, the runner-up £5, third place £3. Notes for exhibitors and judges in Llanfechain Top Vase class • Flowering stems can be taken from any flowering plant • The different kinds of plants need to be taken from different genera. For instance, pinks, carnations and sweet william – which are all dianthus – would not be classed as different. • Only fresh, home-grown flowers can be used. No dried or silk flowers are allowed. • A vase, by definition, is any vessel that can be used to hold cut flowers and which is taller than it is wide at its widest point. LLANFECHAIN TOP TRAY 2017—Competition rules 1. The Llanfechain Top Tray class is for a collection of three types of vegetables taken from this list of eight. The quantity of each vegetable required is given in brackets: carrots (3), cauliflowers (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: 7 points for size, shape and colour; 7 points for condition; 6 points for uniformity. The overall mark will therefore be out of a total of 60. 2. All vegetables are to be displayed for effect within an area measuring 45cm x 60cm (18 x 24in), without bending any part of them. No part of any exhibit may exceed the size of the tray. A tray or board measuring 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 45cm x 60cm. 3. 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 etc., will be allowed. Onion tops may be tied or whipped using raffia or string. Notes for exhibitors and judges in Llanfechain Top Tray class • Carrots and parsnips must have foliage trimmed back to 7.5cm (3in). • Peas and beans must be displayed with some stalk attached • Tomatoes must be displayed with calyces (the green flower bud case). • Judges may handle exhibits, open pods etc to check for quality. • The tray, board or staging must not be cut or mutilated in any way at all – such as cutting holes for standing onions in.
