The Jim Green Memorial competition is an annual event held at the South of England Showground at Ardingly.The competition is for young people with a learning disability who attend Further education colleges /schools in the Sussex/Surrey area.

Subjects include horticulture, baking, woodwork, craft skills as well as team activities such as building a scarecrow, digging a border and fruit and vegetable identification.
Colleges taking part include Manor Green College, Chichester College, Downsview Link College and Plumpton College. Its a fantastic day out and a well organised event enjoyed by all the students.
