2011 Timetable for the day of The Big Green Event

Whilst we will do our best to ensure that all events run according to schedule, we do ask you to recognise that unforeseen circumstances may occur during the day and this may cause some of the events to run late or timings to change slightly. 
Please bear with us if this should happen. 
If you are concerned, or in doubt, simply check with one of the stall holders, volunteers or organisers on the day.


Bring along your entries for the Baking, Jam & Gin competition! 
See how Locally you can source your ingredients, and use Fair Trade for the rest if you can.  It counts!
Judging is at 2 pm - all entries in by 1:30pm please.  Please bring them to the Ladyholme centre, - it'll be easy to spot the table for these.
Our Judge for the event is Lindsey Shackleton, who comes to join us with experience in owning Cafes in Paris and Amsterdam.  She'll be judging on taste and consistancy. In her opionion its often the more rustic the appearance, the better the taste.

There's no limit to the number of entries you can bring along - or age restriction on entrants - Get the kids baking too!
