HAPPY 70th. ANNIVERSARY, VPA
This is a very special year. Not only is 2014 the 70 th. Anniversary of the VPA’s Summer Show,
but it is the 100th Anniversary year of the start of World War 1. Our society had its origins as a
result of World War 2, some twenty-eight years later. Shamelessly copying some of the history
of the Association from the 50 Year Celebration Schedule – we remember again the Watneys
of Brookwood Corner for being the local inspiration behind both the Association and the Show,
bringing the Government’s ‘Dig for Victory’ campaign of 1941 into the gardens of
Holmwood/Beare Green. The Association as such was formed in 1942, with the first Summer
Show taking place in 1945.
After 15 years at Brookwood Corner, due to Mr Watney’s failing health the Show moved to the
gardens of Oakdale, then run as a children’s home and owned by London County Council.
From there, across the road to the South Holmwood Cricket Ground and, in 1986, to our
present venue at the Old School Field. Home Produce, Flower Arranging, Handicrafts and
Children’s classes were added, plus side shows and stalls, to make it a great day out for all the
family.
The VPA is not about making money, but about providing fun and a ‘get-together’ for the
villages. Having to cover costs however led to the introduction of the Barn Dance some years
ago, and more recently to our expanding into Sunday, first with Jazz and more latterly with our
Dog Show (and of course BSA’s popular outdoor ‘Songs of Praise’ to round it all off.). Back in
1945, a marquee was hired from Bulls of Guildford, at a cost of £25. Last year it cost us
£2,500!
As you will have heard from our recent AGMs, our funds are slowly being whittled away, due to
a mix of fewer members, fewer people entering the show classes, fewer people coming to the
Show (the weather has not helped on this score!), and varying levels of interest in the Barn
Dance. So for our Anniversary Year we are making a few changes – a smaller marquee to
save costs, and hence no Barn Dance, and with a different and more family-oriented
entertainment on the Saturday evening: a Film Show in the marquee suitable for all the family.
Of course we still have some old favourites – Punch & Judy and Morris Dancing: a Pimms and
Beer Bar and Barbeque: WI teas in the Scout Hut. And look out for our newly revived Dorking
Sauce on the VPA Produce Stall.
Going back to our 1945 roots, the Summer Show originated to let people show off the results of
their labours, and to show others what we ‘ordinary’ people can do: you do not need to be a
professional to grow good veg or bake a great cake. As the old ‘Domestic Science’ is sneaking
back in to schools – albeit with a more glamorous name these days – these basic ‘life skills’ are
coming back to be as important as ever.
So to adapt another wartime slogan: ‘Your Show Needs You’… We need you not only to ‘Dig
for Victory’, but to come and enter what you produce. We need you to be inspired by
programmes like the ‘Great British Bake-off’ and ‘The Great Allotment Challenge’ and come
and take part. You do not have to be a member to enter the Show. ANYONE can have fun
making, growing and showing. Why not have a go yourself this year!
But above all, we want you to come to the Showground on the 2 nd and 3rd, and to bring family,
friends, neighbours, dogs, …and of course lots of village gossip. Without you there, it won’t be
so much fun for the rest of us.
John Thom, VPA Chairman.

always use a NEW lid for showing.
Use only 450g (1lb) jars unless otherwise stated in the schedule.
Jars must be clean. Polish the outside with a cloth to remove marks.
For jams and jellies, fill the jar to the brim to allow for shrinkage.
Covers must be a good fit.
For jams and jellies, use a wax disc, cut if necessary to fit the jar, plus a
cellophane top OR a NEW twist top without a wax disc.
For chutneys and vinegar preserves, use NEW plastic lined twist top lids.
Cellophane tops and wax disc must not be used.
For curds a wax disc and cellophane cover must be used to allow the curd
to breathe, as the temperature is not high enough to seal a plastic lid.
Labels should be near the bottom of the jar and clearly state the contents
and date made (month and year). Do not stick decorative covers on lids
for showing.

Introduced to you, courtesy of the VPA, the new,
updated, just as spicy, just as piquant, from our very own
VPA kitchens deep in Holmwood Common
Dorking Sauce 2014
The above advertisement for Dorking sauce came from the 1858 Directory of Dorking,
found last year in Dorking Museum. We do not have a recipe for it – just the ad as you
see it. Did Mr Durant take it to his grave with him, or is it to be found in the back of
someone’s Great Grandmother’s cook book, lurking on a dusty shelf in the back streets
of Dorking. No matter! Our VPA chefs have interpreted the description of this
wonderful-sounding condiment, just for you. Tested first at our Spring Meeting (see
what you missed, not coming to the AGM), and selling out again at the Spring Show,
do not miss out now on your chance to buy.
Available on the VPA Produce Stall at the Summer Show.
( Like a precursor to the telephone book, this Dorking Directory would have listed the
households and occupants as well as the businesses in the town, plus the churches,
clubs, societies, etc., and would have carried advertisements in the back. That the
cockerel appears on the advert as long ago as 1858 shows that the town had a 'logo'
as far back as that.)
