If you want the rest of the world to see your name in lights, then start planning for the classes you want to enter as early as possible in the year. A list of the wide range of classes available is here. The schedule details have undergone some changes as a result of comments made by members and visitors to the show. If you are new to showing, try the beginners section (classes 134 - 144). We are now awarding trophies for best exhibits so this means that you do not need to enter a lot of classes in order to achieve recognition.
The details of the 2008 schedule will be posted on this site early in the New Year to give you as much time as possible to start planning your future glories.
