……………………………………………
NB TDC trophy classes are open to all exhibitors not only TDC members. Show committees are asked to encourage their local exhibitors to enter.

Judges and exhibitors please note: trophy classes now specify the size of daffodil eligible for consideration. "Any size" means the bloom may be standard, intermediate (50 mm – 80 mm) or miniature (50 mm or less).

To avoid disappointment, please read the show schedule carefully, both the general rules and conditions and those that apply specifically to daffodils.

Please note: The committee has reversed its decision to change the wording of the Richardson Trophy (changed to read "registered daffodils") due to the difficulty of judges and exhibitors knowing which miniatures are registered and which are simply "named". Glenbrook, for example has both 'named' and 'registered' in its catalogue and we felt it was too pedantic to try to separate the two.

TROPHIES
Would all members holding TDC perpetual trophies please be sure to return them, cleaned and with up to date engraved results either to Committee members at the two mini shows/workshops or to members attending the show where the trophy is allocated for 2011.
Engraving costs will be reimbursed by the treasurer or secretary on presentation of a receipt.

 

LOST – the original base of the R. J. Heazlewood trophy.
This was a large base, a dark wood covered in shields with a hole in which to place the cup. Please search your cupboards – last entry on the old base was 1998, won by Broadfield's Daffodils. New base 1999 names Kevin and Mary Crowe. We have a vague recollection that David Jackson offered to have a new base made for this trophy
Hope this will stir some memories. The two bases may have become separated sometime after 1999 so could anyone who has won this trophy please check.
