Village Show 2012

Get out the calendars and mark it down; 14th July 2012 is the date of this years show.  Mizens Railway is the location.

If you are interested in getting involved with this year’s show please don’t be shy, because now is the time to come and join us.  Volunteers are always welcome, and it’s always useful to know that helpers are coming – instead of standing around with crossed fingers hoping that someone will come forward – to join in the fun.

You can contact us at:  villageshow@knaphill.org

We’re fairly well organised but many hands speed things up considerably.  Comments are also very welcome.

If you want to have a stand at this year’s show please follow the links to download an application form.  You will be pleased to know that we haven’t put the prices up, you just need to select what sort of exhibitor you are.

In line with current policy we do try to maintain a good variety of stalls and we like to know what you will be offering.  If there are too many of any sort of stalls we may not accept your booking;  so get your booking in early.

Payment is with the form and we run a first come, first served policy if there is a clash of stalls.  No payment, no booking.  No refund if you fail to turn up.

Completed Stall Forms with payment should be sent to:

Village Show, Knaphill Post Office, Anchor Parade, Knaphill, GU21 2PD

Remember to leave an email address so we can send you a receipt.

Entry forms for the Horticultural Show are also available online and everyone is welcome to enter.  There are children’s sections, divided into age groups.

Download your application form today and submit it as soon as possible, bringing along your entries on the day for display and judging.

Early submission is encouraged so we can organise enough tables, so get your bookings in NOW!

Volunteers from The Knaphill Residents’ Association (KRA), Mizens Railway and local community groups had been working for months to prepare for the Knaphill Village Show on 16th July, so we were not going to let the grey skies and a few drops of rain dampen our enthusiasm.

There were stalls and attractions from Knaphill community groups, churches, craftsmen and women and local businesses, plus marvellous Mizens train rides. There was Live Music from The Charlie Farley Sunday Four, a well stocked Beer Tent, BBQ and lots of food and refreshments to try. Popular new attractions this year included: Professor Dickie Richards Punch & Judy Shows, Bellytricks – Belly dancers, Alysia Welch’s Diddi Dance and Chobham St Lawrence Morris Dancers.  We had a wonderful day with over a thousand visitors to the Show.

The Knaphill Residents’ Association would like to thank everyone who helped to make the show such a success.  We are really grateful for the financial support of Andrew White at Seymours Knaphill as the main show sponsors, and the many other local businesses and individuals helped by donating Prizes for the Horticultural Show and for the Tombola.

Special thanks go to the volunteers, the clubs and stall holders who worked so hard to create a traditional event for everyone to enjoy. Thanks  also to the people of Knaphill who brought the sunshine with them to share for this fabulous community day.
Thank you everyone.
