disqualify the Exhibitor from competing at any further Show and any prizes awarded will be withheld. The Committee, having reason to believe that this Rule has been disregarded in the past, reserve to themselves the right to inspect the gardens of Exhibitors either before or after the Show.

Entries may also be submitted on-line at www.badseyflowershow.co.uk before midnight on Sunday 23rd July 2023. The fee will then be collected on the morning of the show.
