5 A MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN

Welcome to the 2021 Edgworth and District Horticultural Society's Annual Show Schedule, Sadly our show for 2020 has had to be postponed until 2021 but we are keeping our schedule largely unchanged and on our web site to allow for inspiration and extremely forward planning! It may be that during the ‘covid 19 lock down’ you have re assessed your outdoor space and will have changed your style of gardening and the plants which you grow, we would love to see the results next year. We have done most of the preparation for the show including much of the work on this Annual Show Schedule. Please scan through it – have you seen the new section on Society’s activities near the back? And check out the adverts for local businesses. Our thanks go to the advertisers who make it possible to distribute printed copies free and will not be charged for their adverts until we ‘go to print’ either this year or next. My grateful thanks go to the hard working members of the committee, all of whom spend the best part of the year preparing for the show,and to our judges, along with the volunteers who act as stewards. Without their dedication and help we would not have a show. At a time when many shows around the country are being cancelled due to lack of interest it is a matter of great pride for our village that our show goes from strength to strength. We need more committee members and helpers to keep the show interesting and fresh. If you can spare any time at all to help with this, or future shows, please talk to a committee member. Jean Turner Chairman

COOKERY - Recipe for Class 149 Swiss Roll

Ingredients: Oven temperature: 3 eggs Hot (220 deg.C, 200 deg.Fan, Mark 7) 4 ozs caster sugar 4 ozs plain flour

Caster sugar to dredge Warm raspberry jam (approx 4 tablespoons)

Method : 1. Grease a swiss roll tin 23 x 33 cms (9 x 13 inches) and line with greaseproof paper. Lightly grease the paper. The sides of the paper should be appox. 2-3 cms (1 inch) above the tin. 2. Whisk eggs lightly in a bowl, add sugar. Then whisk well until thick and creamy (almost white in colour). 3. Sieve flour, fold lightly but thoroughly into the mixture with a metal spoon. 4. Pour mixture into the prepared tin, tilt to spread the mixture evenly, particularly into the corners. Bake for 7-8 mins but do not overbake or the cake will crack when rolled. 5. Turn out and invert on to a sugared greaseproof paper with a damp teatowel underneath (to avoid cracking). Remove lining paper, trim the edges with a sharp knife, working quickly. Spread with slightly warm jam. 6. Working from the narrow edge, make the first roll with the fingers, then continue by drawing the paper away from you over the sponge. 7. Leave to cool, resting on the seam. Dredge with caster sugar. 24 25 COOKERY All items to be home made by the exhibitor All items in classes 131-164 are subject to opening or cutting and tasting by the judge NB see Rule 15 if you do not want your entry sold

TIPS FOR EXHIBITORS

Tips for Exhibiting Flowers, Fruit and Vegetables If you've never exhibited before, we've a few tips on preparing for the show. For in-depth instructions on showing horticultural produce, the definitive text is The Horticultural Show Handbook , published by the Royal Horticultural Society. You can find a list of the points allocation for vegetables on our website at http://www.edgworth-horticultural-society.co.uk/pdf/judging-points-veg.pdf

Read the Schedule This may sound obvious, but a number of entries are disallowed by the judges each year because they are ' Not According to Schedule'. Pay special attention to how many items you have to submit, The minimum/maximum size if given, Any specific preparation or display instructions.

Be careful in your picking and preparation of flowers, fruit and vegetables. Allow enough time to prepare your exhibits. It takes time to dig up and clean root vegetables, or to pick fruit and flowers. However, don't pick them too far in advance – the judge will take freshness and condition into account when awarding points, often cutting the exhibits open to check for condition. Handle the fruit and vegetables as little as possible in order not to destroy the 'bloom' that fruit such as plums carry. Pick currants with the strigs (bunches) intact, and leave the stalks on other fruit. Check the schedule for what you have to leave on vegetables. Root vegetables should be washed carefully – don't use a scrubbing brush as this will damage the skin. Trim the tops as specified in the schedule (usually 75mm / 3”). Note the schedule states that onion tops should be tied. If rain is forecast, pick flowers in advance or cover them to prevent damage. Remove damaged flowers and broken or discoloured leaves.

Select appropriate specimens Particularly in fruit and vegetables, the judges will be looking for exhibits that are similar in size and appearance. Five medium sized beans or potatoes of similar appearance will score over a mixed group of big and small ones. Similarly with flowers: try to choose ones of even size and quality. Sweet Peas: In addition look for long straight stems with well-spaced large blooms, each one fully open and fresh. 38

Think about presentation The tables will be marked out with the class numbers, and you will be given an entry card to lay next to your exhibit. Lay out the fruit and vegetables neatly on the table, preferably on a paper towel or paper plate – though remember that in a small show like ours, it may be necessary for the stewards to move your exhibit to make room, so don't make the arrangement too elaborate. The Society provides the vases and packing paper for the staging of flowers.

Cookery Tips The Society will provide doylies for the display of biscuits and cakes. Cakes (sponge) These should be a light golden brown, well risen, definitely no cracks and must easily cut and not crumble. Scones No flour spots and those lovely burnt raisins/currants are sadly outlawed if you want winning scones. Jams & Jellies etc. The judge will be looking for well set jellies and jams, in clean jars, sealed, clearly labelled with the type and date made. Jellies should be clear. A wax disc is not essential. Breads Definitely no cracks or bumps (you know the sort of bumps, the ones you just want to pick off and eat!). Moist, tender and soft centred, and not tasting of yeast. Tarts and Pies Pastry should be golden brown, edges even and unbroken and well sealed (none of that lovely fruit juice seeping into the pastry). Pastry for sweet dishes should be cut with a fluted cutter! 39 40 OUR SOCIETY – and what we do We are a friendly and very active society in the North West of , located in Edgworth. a small village between Bolton and , and with members from a 10 mile radius. We have meetings most months of the year together with full day and evening visits to gardens large and small. Every summer, many of our members and friends take part in a 4-day mini- holiday, visiting gardens in other parts of the country. Flowers in Edgworth In 2019 in collaboration with the North Turton Parish Council, we positioned 50 planters filled with bright summer flowers along the main road and central cross roads. In the autumn we refilled these with spring bulbs – with help from local cub scouts. Later in 2020 by the time of the Show, these should again be lighting up Bolton Road, having been again planted with colourful annuals. Tebay Garden in St. Annes Church, Chapeltown By late 1973 Edgworth and District Horticultural Society, which had been formed in the early 1900’s, was barely in existence with a total of 2 members. Jim Tebay was one of them. At this time the Village Institute Committee was forming a new horticultural society and Jim was co-opted to it. In 1975 he was elected its temporary chairman to transfer the EHS assets from the old society. After his death in 1986 a garden was created as a memorial to him. This has been maintained by our Society ever since; including a redesign and replanting in 2009 and a new plaque agreed with Jim’s family making it a memorial to include all deceased members The Barlow front garden ‘The Barlow’ is the current home of EHS and the garden to the left of the main door was adopted by the Society in 2013 and redesigned. Members constructed a brick access path and planted the bed with mainly white flowered perennials and bulbs. This is now regularly weeded, pruned, overgrown plants divided and new ones purchased. Rest Garden / Stocks Garden, Chapeltown The Society has started work in conjunction with North Turton Parish Council to open up the garden which had become over-hung by large protected trees. With the help and consultation of the village we plan to improve the planting to make it again an enjoyable place to visit, to sit and for those who wish, to volunteer to maintain. The Rest Garden was given to Chapeltown by the sister of Sir Thomas Barlow, Annie Barlow. A keen archaeologist and Egyptologist, she was responsible for the acquisition of many of the first artefacts which led to Bolton Museum’s now internationally famous collection of ancient Egyptian artefacts estimated to include 10,000 items. The market cross and stocks (whose ancient stone bases are original) had earlier been moved from their first site near the Turton Fair ground to Turton Tower. In 1933 they were restored to the village, in the garden, by the T.U.D.C. Award Offered to Suitable Projects (watch the web site for details) Thanks to a generous bequest from Geoffrey Nuttall, the Society decided to offer an Award aimed at projects which will benefit horticulture in the local community. Originally applications were to be made early in 2020, this has been deferred while the present social restrictions are in place. 41

Meetings, Events and Membership Meetings are held at The Barlow, Edgworth starting at 7:30 pm. There is a small charge for entry which includes coffee/tea and cakes. Non-members are most welcome at our meetings, though for other events Society members will be given first choice.
