The Blacksmiths Guild have expanded upon the original NBCC based Show competition to run in addition to the existing schedule https://dorsetcountyshow.co.uk/compete/ a Blacksmiths Guild competition and ‘Have-a-Go’ sessions at this year’s Show. The above flier gives you an idea of whats on offer. I guess you need to contact them direct to enter? Their Dorset Show specific website is https://www.blacksmithscompetition.com/
Only six weeks to go, the schedule is available here https://blacksmithcompetition.files.wordpress.com/2023/03/printed-schedule-2023-1.pdf
And an Entry Form here https://blacksmithcompetition.files.wordpress.com/2023/03/printed-schedule-2023-1.pdf dont forget that entry fees are capped at 5 x entries so every entry after that is free and Edenbridge & Oxted entry fees are currently the cheapest on the circuit.
The Last in the list of Blacksmith Competitions that make up the National Blacksmith Champion Competition the Dorset is always a nice Show to round off the Competition calendar. This year Chief Steward Simon Grant Jones has handed over responibilitry for the Competitions to the Blacksmiths Guild (Guild Of Wrought Ironwork Craftsmen Of Wessex). Thanks for all your hard work Simon. The Blacksmith Guild will be running their own competitions alongside the National Competition.
The schedule and entry forms for the Competition can be found on the Dorset County Show website. https://dorsetcountyshow.co.uk/compete/
