WASHINGPOOL TOP TRAY COMPETITION

The Washingpool Top Tray class is for a collection of three types of vegetables from the following list of ten. The quantity of each vegetable required for the collection is given in brackets and each type must consist of the same variety: CARROTS (3), CAULIFLOWERS (2), ONIONS (3), PARSNIPS (2), PEAS (6 PODS), POTATOES (3) RUNNER BEANS (6 PODS), TOMATOES (6), FRENCH BEANS (6), COURGETTES (3). Only one entry per exhibitor please.
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 therefore will be out of a total of 60.
