Dore Show 2024
Dore Show 2024
Preparation for this year’s Dore Show on Saturday 7th September is almost complete and we are looking forward to seeing you at the event.
The Show commences at 8:45am when you can arrive and enter your exhibits. The class list is below, and entries for classes 1 to 46 should be brought to the Old School, with classes 47 to 60 to the Methodist Church Hall.
For anyone new to Dore the Show is a typical traditional village show where residents (and sometimes a few from further afield) of all ages take the opportunity to demonstrate their skills and creativity, submit exhibits and win prizes.
We are pleased to welcome back our longstanding favourite performers, Oughtibridge Brass Band, in the Old School yard, as well as the usual mix of stalls and some new ones. These include Christ Church Dore, where you can find out how the renovation work is getting on, and the Longshaw Masons Lodge which has done a great deal of work that often goes unnoticed in raising funds and making donations to a lot of organisations and worthwhile causes.
There will be a presentation of trophies at 2:45 in the Old School, please check your exhibits to see if you are a trophy winner and come along to collect your prize.
And, of course, there will be refreshments in the Methodist Church Hall, the raffle with lots of wonderful prizes, and the unmissable auction with our inimitable resident auctioneer, David Hayes.
The raffle will be drawn at 4pm and the results will be displayed on a white board outside the Old School with information on where you can collect your prize.
Each year, if we make a surplus, we donate to charities and other worthwhile causes in Dore. This year the charity is More in Dore.
Please note that we are a cash only event except for the DVS stand, where you can join or renew your membership, and the More in Dore stand, where you can donate to the
renovation of the recreation playground, and pay by card.
