Subscriptions The annual membership subscription is 3. Membership fees for next season could have been paid at this year s show. Many members do this and we find it very helpful. Membership fees for 2011 can be paid now; by post to the Secretary or the Treasurer (cheques payable to Egton Bridge Old Gooseberry Society ) or in person to any member of the Committee. They must be paid before Easter Tuesday 2011 See rules 3 and 14. Donations of 10 or more will constitute a vice presidency and will be recognised in the results register. Help the Judges and Weighmen! If members are able to identify the colour categories of the berries they enter and even identify the individual variety it would help! If you are not sure of the colour or variety then the judges will decide. If you have your own scales at home, you might like to identify which are your heaviest berries in each category. We only weigh your heaviest red berry, your heaviest yellow berry, your heaviest green and your heaviest white therefore, for sections one, two, three and four of the Show you need only enter four berries your heaviest in each colour. We only weigh your heaviest twins, therefore, for sections five and six of the Show, you need only enter one set of twins. For section seven, we need your heaviest twelve berries. As only one of your individual berries can take a prize in sections one to four, then the other three berries from that section could be included in the heaviest twelve if they are heavy enough! Therefore, 13 individual berries, plus one pair of twins, is the minimum number of berries to compete in all sections of the Show as sections eight to ten use berries that have not been successful in earlier sections of the Show. We appreciate that many members will not be able to accurately identify the colour category of their berries, in which case it is better to bring them rather than leave them at home. We appreciate that many members will not be able to accurately weigh their berries, in which case it is better to bring all your contenders than leave them at home. And we appreciate that berries do burst while travelling to the Show in which case you need to bring some spares. However, it would help our Judges and Weighmen, and speed up the weighing process, if those members who were able to, did the following:- i) Clearly identify the berries they enter. ii) Indicate which are the berries to be weighed in the various sections of the Show. iii) Reduce the total number of berries entered, bearing in mind how many berries are required for the various categories.
