For 2007, the entries will be shown at Croydon 2007, an exhibition being held at the Fairfield Halls on Friday and Saturday, November 23 and 24, 2007.

You should complete the entry form (ask someone to help you if you have any problems) and send it to Jean Wood, 6 Beech Grove, Whitley Bay, Tyne and Wear NE26 3PJ to arrive no later than October 5th 2007. Your entries should be sent by post to
