HONEY SHOW RESULTS

Thanks to all those who attended the Honey Show. Congratulations to John Dow for winning the trophy for the entrant with the most overall points and to Miranda Brackenbury for winning the Kev and Liz Howell shield for the most points in the novice section. I would also like to thank Fiona Hawke and Julie McDiarmid for all their help in organising the show along with the other members of the committee. I am sure we all learnt a lot from David Wright (our judge) and as he said, its about encouraging people to enter in the future and to help us all to improve our overall standards of beekeeping. I think some photographs will be emerging on our facebook page

FUTURE MEETINGS

Winter Meetings we have decided that the December, January and February meetings will be on-line. With the levels of COVID in the borders continuing to be high and the winter evenings the committee decided this was the best option.

Details of all future meetings can be found in our Events Page - HERE

HONEY SHOW - REMINDER

Our honey show for 2021 will be held on Sunday 7th November 2021 at Kelso Rugby Club (TD5 7EH) from 1300 to 1600. Please bring entries from 1300 onwards to allow judging to start at 1400. This year our judge will be David Wright from Edinburgh.

Schedules and notes can be found here on the BBA website

This is a great chance to learn about what makes a good jar of honey (and everything else) and what the judges are looking for. It’s always a great afternoon.There will be the usual raffle so please bring prizes. New beekeepers are especially encouraged to participate - last time all our trophies were scooped by a first year beekeeper!

COVID Precautions

As we are still in a pandemic, we will be taking precautions at the honey show. Please do not come if you are feeling unwell. Please wear a mask when moving about and use the hand sanitisers. We will place the seating in such a way to ensure social distancing.

Coffee, tea and biscuits will be available but please bring your own mug.
