Best Handwriting (in pen on plain paper, mounted on A4 card, printing not allowed):(taken from David Walliams Grandpas Great Escape)
One day Grandpa began to forget things.
It was the little things at first.
The old man would make himself a cup of tea and forget to drink it.
Before long he would have lined up a dozen cups of cold tea on his kitchen table.
Or he would run a bath and forget to turn off the taps,
flooding his neighbour's flat downstairs.
Or he would leave the house with the express purpose of buying a stamp,
but return home with seventeen boxes of cornflakes.
Grandpa didn't even like cornflakes.

201. Best Handwriting (in ink on plain paper, mounted on A4 card, printing not allowed):(taken from J.K.Rowlings Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban)
Sirius Black,
possibly the most infamous prisoner ever to be held in Azkaban fortress,
is still eluding capture, the Ministy of Magic confirmed today.
"We are doing all we can to recapture Black," said the Minister of Magic,
Cornelius Fudge, this morning, "and we beg the magical community to remain calm."
Fudge has been criticized by some members of the
International Federation of Warlocks for informing the
Muggle Prime Minister of the crisis.
"Well, really, I had to, don't you know," said an irritable Fudge.
"Black is mad. He's a danger to anyone who crosses him, magic or Muggle.
I have the Prime Minister's assurance that he will not breathe a word of Black's true
identity to anyone. And let's face it - who'd believe him if he did?"

IMPORTANT NOTICE TO ALL EXHIBITORS


The organisers are naturally concerned for the safety of the public at the show and this is of paramount
importance in relation to Public Liability Insurance and the Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 with additions
and amendments. An Agricultural Show presents many difficult problems because of numbers of people and
livestock moving around on a large site. In order to comply with legal and insurers requirements it is
necessary to segregate, as far as possible, livestock from the general public. The Society has therefore
appointed Stewards to supervise the movements of people and livestock around the Show Field at all times
and THE DIRECTIONS OF THE STEWARDS MUST BE FOLLOWED AT ALL TIMES.
Should any exhibitor fail to comply with the instructions of the stewards, the Society will have no alternative
but to remove that exhibitors entries from the Show Field and all fees paid and /or prizes won will be forfeit.
This condition will be strictly enforced and no appeal will be considered.

PUBLIC SAFETY
STANHOPE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY HAS MADE THE BEST ARRANGEMENTS IN THEIR POWER FOR
THE SAFETY OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC, EXHIBITORS AND ANIMALS. THEY WILL NOT BE HELD
RESPONSIBLE FOR THE LOSS, DAMAGE OR INJURY TO ANY PERSONS, ANIMALS OR PROPERTY.
THE PUBLIC ARE NOT TO ENTER ANY RING OR ENCLOSURE AND ARE TO BE VIGILANT OF
VEHICLES AND ANIMALS MOVING AROUND THE SHOW FIELD. MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC
PARTICIPATING IN ANY EVENT DO SO AT THEIR OWN RISK.

LOST CHILDREN
Please inform your children that if they get separated from family members that they should go to the
secretarys cabin, that is allocated next to the flag pole. The Society will do all they can to inform the family
immediately over the tannoy that they are safe and waiting for you.

DISABLED PARKING
For all valid badge holders, parking can be located in the paddock adjacent to the main field.
