PLEASE READ CAREFULLY – 2008 HEALTH AND SAFETY
Dear Sir/Madam,
I have pleasure in enclosing an application form for a Trade Stand at the Vale of Glamorgan Agricultural Show to be held on Wednesday 20th August, 2008 at Fonmon Castle Grounds.
On arrival at the show ground you will be positioned by one of our Trade Stand officials. The show ground will be open prior to show day should you wish to set anything out - this will be at your own risk. Your stand must be up and running by 9 a.m. on show morning. No stand may be dismantled and no exhibit removed from the show ground until 6.30 p.m. on show day. You must remove all the rubbish from your plot and surrounding area. All passes will be forwarded at the end of July.
The Society is mindful of it obligations covering Health and Safety and welfare of its staff, members of the public and exhibitors. To enable the society to comply with its moral and legal obligations all exhibitors are requested to work in conformity with the Health and Safety at Work Act. Working demonstrations must provide the society with all the relevant information covering the precautions to be taken to safeguard the public and should be available prior to the show. It is also imperative that all persons bringing a generator into the show ground must provide the necessary fire fighting equipment for it. It is the responsibility of exhibitors to comply with Societies health and safety policy. A copy of this may be obtained from the secretary and is on display in the show office on show day. All stall holders MUST be adequately covered for public liability. Evidence of this may be requested by Show Officials.
On the back of the trade stand form is a risk assessment form, please make sure that this is completed before returning to us. Please sign the Trade Stand form agreeing to all the regulations laid out above and retain this letter for your information. I look forward to receiving your completed application form, risk assessment form and remittance.
Yours sincerely,
Nicola Gibson
General Secretary
