HAPPY 70th. ANNIVERSARY, VPA
This is a very special year. Not only is 2014 the 70 th. Anniversary of the VPA’s Summer Show, but it is the 100th Anniversary year of the start of World War 1. Our society had its origins as a result of World War 2, some twenty-eight years later. Shamelessly copying some of the history of the Association from the 50 Year Celebration Schedule – we remember again the Watneys of Brookwood Corner for being the local inspiration behind both the Association and the Show, bringing the Government’s ‘Dig for Victory’ campaign of 1941 into the gardens of Holmwood/Beare Green. The Association as such was formed in 1942, with the first Summer Show taking place in 1945.
After 15 years at Brookwood Corner, due to Mr Watney’s failing health the Show moved to the gardens of Oakdale, then run as a children’s home and owned by London County Council. From there, across the road to the South Holmwood Cricket Ground and, in 1986, to our present venue at the Old School Field. Home Produce, Flower Arranging, Handicrafts and Children’s classes were added, plus side shows and stalls, to make it a great day out for all the family.
The VPA is not about making money, but about providing fun and a ‘get-together’ for the villages. Having to cover costs however led to the introduction of the Barn Dance some years ago, and more recently to our expanding into Sunday, first with Jazz and more latterly with our Dog Show (and of course BSA’s popular outdoor ‘Songs of Praise’ to round it all off.). Back in 1945, a marquee was hired from Bulls of Guildford, at a cost of £25. Last year it cost us £2,500!
As you will have heard from our recent AGMs, our funds are slowly being whittled away, due to a mix of fewer members, fewer people entering the show classes, fewer people coming to the Show (the weather has not helped on this score!), and varying levels of interest in the Barn Dance. So for our Anniversary Year we are making a few changes – a smaller marquee to save costs, and hence no Barn Dance, and with a different and more family-oriented entertainment on the Saturday evening: a Film Show in the marquee suitable for all the family. Of course we still have some old favourites – Punch & Judy and Morris Dancing: a Pimms and Beer Bar and Barbeque: WI teas in the Scout Hut. And look out for our newly revived Dorking Sauce on the VPA Produce Stall.
Going back to our 1945 roots, the Summer Show originated to let people show off the results of their labours, and to show others what we ‘ordinary’ people can do: you do not need to be a professional to grow good veg or bake a great cake. As the old ‘Domestic Science’ is sneaking back in to schools – albeit with a more glamorous name these days – these basic ‘life skills’ are coming back to be as important as ever.
So to adapt another wartime slogan: ‘Your Show Needs You’… We need you not only to ‘Dig for Victory’, but to come and enter what you produce. We need you to be inspired by programmes like the ‘Great British Bake-off’ and ‘The Great Allotment Challenge’ and come and take part. You do not have to be a member to enter the Show. ANYONE can have fun making, growing and showing. Why not have a go yourself this year!
But above all, we want you to come to the Showground on the 2nd and 3rd, and to bring family, friends, neighbours, dogs, …and of course lots of village gossip. Without you there, it won’t be so much fun for the rest of us.
John Thom, VPA Chairman.

The marquee will open at 8:30 am. All exhibits must be in place by 10:30 am and all clear for judging by 11:00 am. Late entries will NOT BE ACCEPTED after 10:15 am.
All exhibits are to remain on display until 4:00 pm and then to be removed by 4:15 pm – unless they are to be donated to the auction of show produce.
The Association would be grateful to have any exhibition produce to auction at the end of the Show. The proceeds from the auction are a valuable contribution to the costs of running this annual event.
To avoid any mishaps, exhibitors are advised not to display exhibits on plates or in vases of financial or sentimental value.
GROWING AND PREPARING FOR SHOW AND EXHIBITIONAll exhibitors are recommended to read the Notes and Hints following in preparing for the Show. It is assumed that all exhibitors in all classes are familiar with the rules of the Summer Show, which can be obtained from the Show Secretary.
FRUIT, VEGETABLES AND FLOWERS1 All fruit should be ripe except apples and pears.2 All fruit should be shown with the stalks on.3 All fruit should show a natural bloom and not be polished.4 Currants should be shown in bunches as grown.5 All roots should be shown washed.6 Carrots, beet and turnips should have only 3 ins of leafstalk showing.7 Radishes should be shown with short intact foliage.8 Brassicas should have about 3 ins of root stalk on (including lettuces).9 Autumn-sown onions and shallots should have tops cut off and tied down.10 Only the loose outside skin of onions and shallots should be removed: do
not remove skins too deeply.11 Shallots should be shown as separate bulbs and not as clusters.12 Peas and beans should be shown with stalks.13 Marrows (table size) should be even in size and not too large.14 Rhubarb should be shown with not more than 3 ins of blade (leaf).15 All produce is judged on condition, size, uniformity and suitability for table
use, except where otherwise stated. All other things being equal,presentation will enter into the judging.
16 A bloom is one flower on a stem (e.g. dahlia or poppy), and note that a bud will be treated as a bloom.
17 A stem has several flowers (e.g. hydrangea or gladiolus).18 Roses must be shown with foliage. Wires are permitted to keep individual
blooms erect.
10
19 Flowers are judged on condition, stems, form of flower, colour and uniformity.
11
FLORAL ARRANGEMENTS1 Plant material must predominate over all other components used.2 Sedges, rushes, reeds, bulrushes, catkins, cereals and heads of grass (at
any stage of their development) are allowed as flowers or fruit.3 ‘Fruit’ includes edible and inedible fruit, berries, seed heads, nuts, cones,
fungi and vegetables.4 ‘Foliage’ includes leaves and unopened buds not showing petal colour.5 Bracts may be used as flowers or foliage.6 Artificial plant material is not permitted unless specifically allowed by the
Show schedule.7 The cut ends of fresh plant material stems must be staged in water or water
retaining material.8 An accessory is anything which is added to the plant material in an exhibit.
Accessories may be used in an exhibit unless specifically prohibited by the Show schedule.
9 Backgrounds, bases, drapes, containers and any card of title description or explanation, are not accessories, and may be used unless prohibited by the Show schedule.
10 Unless otherwise stated in the Show schedule the measurements shown will apply to the three dimensions of width, depth and height. Competitors must NEVER exceed the specific measurements given in the schedule.
11 Wire, tape and glue may be used if required, but should not be obvious.12 NAFAS Handbook shall prevail in case of dispute.
EGGS – to be uniform in shape, colour and size. Shells free from stains and dirt and with a good texture.
BAKING TIPS1 Bread – should be 24 hours old, well risen, evenly baked and with no cracks
on the crust; internal texture light and even; wholemeal is less risen and closer in texture than white.
2 Sponges – top should be free of cooling rack marks and without bubbles. Texture fine and evenly risen.
12
PRESERVES1 Use clear jars with no trade marks (check the bottom and side of the jar) and
always use a NEW lid for showing.2 Use only 450g (1lb) jars unless otherwise stated in the schedule.3 Jars must be clean. Polish the outside with a cloth to remove marks.4 For jams and jellies, fill the jar to the brim to allow for shrinkage.5 Covers must be a good fit. 6 For jams and jellies, use a wax disc, cut if necessary to fit the jar, plus a
cellophane top OR a NEW twist top without a wax disc.7 For chutneys and vinegar preserves, use NEW plastic lined twist top lids.
Cellophane tops and wax disc must not be used. 8 For curds a wax disc and cellophane cover must be used to allow the curd
to breathe, as the temperature is not high enough to seal a plastic lid.9 Labels should be near the bottom of the jar and clearly state the contents
and date made (month and year). Do not stick decorative covers on lids for showing.
PRESERVING HINTS AND TIPS1 Always use good quality fresh or frozen fruit.2 Use a large, heavy-based saucepan or preserving pan.3 Ensure the sugar has completely dissolved before boiling.4 Adding a knob of butter reduces the amount of froth.5 Start timing as soon as a full rolling boil is reached.6 Always dry freshly washed jars in a warm oven.7 Always pour hot jam into warm jars.8 Add herbs to jellies after boiling. Allow the jelly to stand for about 10 mins,
stirring occasionally. Make sure the herbs are evenly distributed throughout the jelly and no longer float on the surface, before potting.
9 Store preserves in a cool dark place.
CHUTNEYS1 Vegetables to be uniform in size with no large pieces of onion, skin, stones
or cores visible.2 Consistency to be pulpy and reasonably firm with no free liquid remaining.3 Jars to be filled to within 1 cm (1/2 in) of the top.4 Ensure no visible air bubbles.5 Colour to be bright and even throughout. Dark chutneys should not look
“muddy”.6 Label to state flavour “heat” level.7 Flavour to be mature, well balanced and characteristic of the ingredients
used.8 No re-bottling allowed.9 Chutneys should be kept for at least two months before showing.

The above advertisement for Dorking sauce came from the 1858 Directory of Dorking,
found last year in Dorking Museum. We do not have a recipe for it – just the ad as you
see it. Did Mr Durant take it to his grave with him, or is it to be found in the back of
someone’s Great Grandmother’s cook book, lurking on a dusty shelf in the back streets
of Dorking. No matter! Our VPA chefs have interpreted the description of this
wonderful-sounding condiment, just for you. Tested first at our Spring Meeting (see
what you missed, not coming to the AGM), and selling out again at the Spring Show, do
not miss out now on your chance to buy.
Available on the VPA Produce Stall at the Summer Show. ( Like a precursor to the telephone book, this Dorking Directory would have listed the households and occupants as well as the businesses in the town, plus the churches, clubs, societies, etc., and would have carried advertisements in the back. That the cockerel appears on the advert as long ago as 1858 shows that the town had a 'logo' as far back as that.)
