Curdridge Country Show 2014
On 19th July 2014 at 11am the 58th
Curdridge Country Show opens its gates
and welcomes you to enjoy a fun filled
day for all the family. Our range of
entertainment should mean that there
is something for everyone and our
affordable entry prices will put a smile on
everyone’s face.
The Show is the main fundraising event
for the Charity that runs the Reading
Rooms and Recreation Ground. The
structural survey has shown that we need
to undertake a major rebuilding and
refurbishment programme and the profit
from this event will be used for this project.
Your generosity is greatly appreciated.
We pride ourselves on our blend of
traditional old favourites and new and
exciting changes. Our Music Stage was
launched last year with a number of music
acts that proved to be popular. We have
an exciting line-up for this year, details of
which can be found on page 12-13 of this
programme with live links on the website.
We are also introducing a Games Den for
Youngsters to hang out and enjoy during
the day.
We have a great selection of food and
drink to keep you going throughout the
day including a BBQ, Hog Roast, the Tea
Tent and the Bar to name a few, plus some
trade stands selling their own wares for
you to try. We have again joined up with
The Hampshire Food Festival to celebrate
the enormous range of quality food and
drink available at our Show.
The arena is positively bursting with activity
and the many craft demonstrations around
the showground will amaze you, everything
from tying flies to hurdle making.
There is plenty to see and do around
the show for all the family including a
Horticultural Show if you are interested in
trying to win a trophy along with crafts,
a games den, face-painting and glitter
tattoos for the children to enjoy.
Last but by no means least, we have some
lovely prizes to be won in our Grand
Draw which so far includes a watercolour
painting of the show, a portrait gift voucher,
vouchers for zumba lessons and many
more. Full details of prizes can be found
on our website. Tickets can be bought in
advance. If you can’t get to the Show but
want to take part in this just let us know.
I would also like to take this opportunity
to thank John Osmon and his team of
volunteers who sell the tickets around
Curdridge for which we are very grateful.
We hope you have a great day-out at the
Show and come back again next year.

Activities for Young People
The huge YMCA climbing wall is a great way to get a perspective of
the whole Show. Any time in the queue will give you an opportunity to
learn some circus skills as well. If you have any energy left then the
bungee trampoline will see to that.
If you prefer something more sedate then the Side Shows are for you.
There is no better way to work off any frustration than smashing up
some old crockery! Of course if you prefer something more skilful the
football game, the coconut shy or the skittles are for you.
For the really little ones we have the Shetland pony rides again.
Birds of prey, ferrets and bees are a firm favourite with our
younger and older visitors so we have opportunities to meet them
up close, but we suggest not too close!!.
Don’t forget to check if you have won a prize in the Horticultural
Show (assuming you didn’t forget to enter!) and get a glitter tattoo or face
painting experience. The Children’s Craft Activity Centre run by Fairlands Nursery is
great fun where you can make something to take home with you.
Our Games Den is available for you to have a go at a mixture of games and competitions,
a place to relax and have some fun and possibly sample something from our tuck shop!
There is plenty for you to try out, so come along and join in!

Horticultural Show
The Horticultural Tent continues to be a central part of the Show. The objective of the
tent is to provide an opportunity for everyone in our community to participate - and
perhaps even win a prize or a cup!
This year’s Horticultural Show is being sponsored by Hambrooks and the classes
include all the favourites plus a few new ones including a class for a classic white loaf,
the best decorated Gingerbread Man (junior section) and an article of patchwork.
Your support of this element of the show is always appreciated. With your entries
we are hoping to create a wonderful show of vegetables, fruit, flowers/plants, crafts,
photography, cookery and a fun-packed Junior section. With your help, we could give a
chance to children and young people you know to grow, design and make to take part
in the show. There is something for everyone to show their talents from Novice to Expert.
The full schedule for the Horticultural Show can be downloaded from our website or
obtained by calling the Horticultural Show telephone number, details of both can be
found on the opposite page.
Feeling a little hungry?
Our traditional Tea Tent is open all day and offers a huge range
of scrummy things to eat including ploughman’s lunch, sausage
rolls, quiche, sandwiches, cakes and much more. Of course,
there will be gallons of tea, coffee and cold drinks, all prepared
and served by our wonderful team of volunteers. Our prices are
pretty good as well so you can afford to come for lunch and still fit
in afternoon tea and snacks.
Down at the Cricket Club Pavilion you will find the
Hog Roast and Barbeque, conveniently situated
next to our fully licensed bar selling among other
things, real ale. The Hog Roast is supplied and
cooked by Nick, our local butcher, so we know
it will be very tasty.
Around the Showground you will be able to
buy some pretty strong cider, and the two
ice cream vans will be tempting you to partake of
something naughty but nice. Forget the diet and hope that the apples
in the cider count towards your five a day!
Photography Competition
Send us your best photos of The 58th Curdridge Country
Show taken during the day (19th July 2014) and the
winner will receive a fantastic prize.
The aim is to capture the essence of the Show, whatever
you think is particularly appealing or fun or quirky or simply
beautiful.
Each person may enter up to four photos and the judge’s
decision about the winner will be final. Please go to our
website
www.curdridgeshow.co.uk for full details of the rules of the
competition.
The closing date for receipt of entries is 19th August 2014
and winners will be notified as soon as possible after that date,
but no later than 30th September 2014.
Printed entries: send by post to
Curdridge Country Show,
PO Box 368, Southampton
SO18 3WH.
Electronic entries: email us at [email protected]
Make sure that you give us your name, address and telephone number when you send
your entries so that we can contact you if you have won.
Please make sure that you have permission to use the photographs where images of
people have been captured, especially where children are included. We reserve the
right to use any photos submitted in future publicity for the Show.

Dog Factor
Dog Factor has proved to be very popular in recent years and it is now bigger and
better than ever. Dog Factor is sponsored by Paws Boarding Kennels and Cattery,
Curdridge and is an open competition for any dog attending the Show with their owner.
Whether your dog has the cutest face or the biggest wag or whether your dog has
got what it takes to make the judge want to take them home, you stand a chance
at a prize. Don’t worry, the judge won’t actually claim your dog but should you
win you can bathe in the glory of the victory for a whole year!
All well behaved dogs kept on a lead are welcome to come to the Show
and we provide drinking water for them. Please take care as it might
be a very hot day and there will be crowds to contend with, so make
sure your dog is happy and will be comfortable in the surroundings.
Do not leave dogs unattended in cars as they can soon get too hot.
If you and your dog want to enter Dog Factor just turn up at the
arena when you hear the announcement.
Good luck.
The Curdridge Country Show Committee are grateful for the
support of Paws Kennels in running this event.
