BAKING COMPETITION
Have fun and support the Fete & Games by entering this year’s Baking Competition.
The competition is open to adults & children, and there’s a choice of two things to bake in each age category. As well as the fun of competing, all entries will be sold in the Tea Tent following judging, so they will help raise money for the good causes supported by the Fete & Games.
How it works:
- There are two choices of bake per age group: A & B for aged 10 & under, C & D for those aged 11-15 and E & F for adults (anyone aged 16+). You can enter one or both categories in your age group (i.e., a maximum of 2); there is no limit to how many people from one household can enter – the more the merrier!
- All entries must be brought to the Tea Tent by 1.45pm on the day (Sat 20th June). The number to put on the judging table is shown below (if you bake more than this and want to donate them for sale in the Tea Tent, they would be gratefully received).
- Entry is free, but all entries will be sold in the Tea Tent after
- Judging will be undertaken by the Sous Chef from Archerfield Walled Garden, and prizes will be awarded to all 1st, 2nd and 3rd place entries. Winners will be announced, and prizes handed out, in the Tea Tent at about 30pm.
HAPPY BAKING!
