Use one of three drop-off options if this is more convenient for you:

For these drop-off options, a volunteer is waiting by their car for your bread boxes/bags and shall endeavour to make themselves obvious for this purpose. At prompt 10am these cars will depart, loaded with entries, to deliver them to Bowhouse.
IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT EACH ENTRY IS INDIVIDUALLY CLEARLY LABELLED WITH YOUR NAME, CLASS & LOAF NAME, ALL ITEMS CONTAINED IN A BOX/BAG.
This is vital to ensure there are no mix-ups during transportation and to enable the matching of breads to entry forms. Remember also to add in any marketing material/labelling for Saturday’s bread display. I thank you for your diligence.
