All stands are to be erected by 8.30 am on the morning of the show. Late arrivals will not be allowed onto the show field.

All stands are responsible for their own rubbish. All rubbish must be taken to the nearest wheelie bin point. Please remember this field will be grazed by stock when the show is over. The site must be cleared by 5.00 pm on Monday 20th June 2011.

The Society cannot be responsible for any loss or damage to any craft stands. Special insurance should be acquired by the stand holder.

In the interests of animal safety, balloons are not allowed.

There is no electricity on the field. Trade stand holders must supply their own tables, chairs furniture etc; we only supply the grass space.
