On-line entry forms and payment

We are planning to introduce an on-line entry form with cashless payments for this year's Show. The aim is to have an on-line entry form which lists all of the classes for the entrant to choose from. The entrant will be sent a payment link for on-line payment by card and will collect entry cards as usual on the morning of the Show. The deadline for on-line entries will be 10.00pm on Wednesday 2nd September 2026. Late entries will be permitted but for this year at least, they must be hard-copy as described below.
