TRADE STAND REGULATIONS

Please read these conditions carefully before signing the declaration on the last page of this form. 

•	Exhibitors hire space at the Border Union Show at their own risk.

•	All Exhibitors have the responsibility to ensure that nobody is injured on their stand.  Therefore all Exhibitors must complete a risk assessment for their stand to identify any potential risks and if applicable, take steps to reduce the likelihood of injury occurring.  Risk Assessments must be brought to the Show and be available for inspection on request.

•	All liability on Trade Stands lies with the particular Exhibitor who is responsible for obtaining his/her own Public Liability Insurance. All stands at the Border Union Show must be covered by Public Liability Insurance, a copy of which must be available for inspection on request.
	
•	ALL AMUSEMENT AND NOVELTY STANDS MUST SUPPLY A COPY OF THEIR PUBLIC LIABILITY INSURANCE CERTIFICATE AT THE TIME OF BOOKING.
	
•	Return of payment in the event of cancellation of stand by Exhibitor:
		Notice given in writing before 30th April – 90% of any payment made. (10% for administration costs)
		Notice given in writing before 1st June – 50% of any payment made.
		Notice given in writing on the 1st June or after – No refund of any payment made.

•	The Society will not be responsible for any accident involving implements, machines or other articles belonging to any Exhibitor and it is a condition of entry that each Exhibitor shall hold the Society blameless for, and indemnify it against, any legal proceedings arising from any accident caused by Exhibitors or their employees or exhibits.

•	Exhibitors must notify the Society before the Show if they wish to demonstrate and / or operate machinery. Exhibitors must provide the Society with a written risk assessment. The provision of such an assessment shall not imply any endorsement by the Society and the Society reserve the right to refuse permission to demonstrate and / or operate machinery.

•	Foodstuffs or drinks may only be provided for immediate consumption within stands for hospitality purposes.  No food or drink may be sold or given away to the general public which is intended for immediate consumption.  (Trade Stand holders who provide foodstuffs for hospitality purposes, must ensure that their suppliers have all relevant food safety certifications). 

•	It is the responsibility of all exhibitors to comply with all relevant Trading Standards and Environmental Health legislation in respect to their stands, exhibits and merchandise. Trading Standards Officers may visit Trade Stands during the Show and this is something which the Border Union Agricultural Society has no control over. 

•	The Border Union Agricultural Society reserves the right to refuse or place limitations upon, any application for space and to return fees, in whole or in part, or otherwise deal with the application as they may consider advisable and that without providing any reasons therefore.

•	Trading from Stands must be restricted to within the designated area applied for in the application form and no Exhibitor shall sub-let the whole or any part of the space allocated.

•	No Exhibitor will be permitted to arrange a stand or place signs in such a manner as to obstruct or inconveniently affect the display of any other Exhibitor.  Signs and guy ropes must not be allowed to project beyond the space allocated.  SPACE RESERVED MUST ALLOW FOR THIS.  Infringements of this regulation will be dealt with by the Stewards, who are empowered to remove the cause of the offence or to have the stand rearranged at the expense of the Exhibitor.

•	Where the ground requires to be broken to suit the requirements of the Exhibitor, permission must be sought from the Society Office. The ground must then be restored to the satisfaction of the Society and at the expense of the Exhibitor, within seven days of the close of the Show. In the event of the Exhibitor failing to comply with this requirement, the Society reserve the right to restore the ground to its original condition and recover the cost thereof from the Exhibitor. If Exhibitors wish to lay chips or gravel on any part of the site, this should be done on a base material to allow the removal of the chips.
	
•	Exhibitors may organise for the grass under their Stand to be cut.  The Exhibitor is entirely responsible for the organisation and payment for such a service.

•	Exhibitors will be responsible for the removal of all refuse from their site.

•	By law, all enclosed public spaces (THIS INCLUDES MARQUEES) must be kept SMOKE FREE. Council Smoking Inspectors, who are not employed by the Border Union, may attend and will issue a fine if someone is smoking in an enclosed area. The Border Union will not be liable for this fine.

•	Exhibitors employing contractors (e.g. marquee suppliers, caterers) are required to provide the contractors with all relevant information to enable them to carry out their tasks with all due efficiency.

•	All LPG cylinders should be located in open air, away from entrances, emergency exits, circulation areas and sources of ignition. The cylinders must incorporate pressure relief valves and be secured in an upright position. Appropriate fire fighting equipment must be available and combustible materials should be kept away from cylinders and appliances. Exhibitors are advised to seek advice from the Firemaster.

ACCESS TO THE SHOWGROUND DURING THE SHOW.

THIS SECTION RELATES TO YOUR ENTITLEMENTS WITH REGARD TO VEHICLES AND ADMISSION AT THE SHOW.

PLEASE READ IT CAREFULLY.

•	On both Show Days access to the Showground will be restricted to vehicles displaying valid windscreen labels ONLY.  All other vehicles will be directed to Public Car Park.

•	Exhibitors will be issued with admission passes and windscreen labels for their personnel and essential vehicles in accordance with the enclosed Trade Stand Information Sheet.  Additional admission passes may be purchased from The BUAS Office (see Information Sheet). Additional windscreen passes are not available due to space restrictions.  Exhibitors must ensure that provision is made for all contractors, suppliers and their staff who may be required to attend on Show Days.  The Border Union regrets that extra admission passes for the above mentioned MUST BE PURCHASED.

•	While in the Showground, all Exhibitors’ vehicles must be parked in the Trade Exhibitors Car Park or within the boundaries of their site.  Windscreen labels do not entitle vehicles to unrestricted movement within or beyond the Showground while the Show is open to the public.

•	     No facilities are available within the Showground for caravans, tents or other temporary living quarters unless contained entirely within stand boundaries.

•	Stewards within the Showground are empowered to authorize the removal of indiscriminately parked vehicles where their presence is likely to hinder the free movement of Priority and Emergency Services or otherwise cause public nuisance.

•	    All occupants of Exhibitors' vehicles must be in possession of valid passes or they will be required to pay the full admission charge.   No refunds will be made to personnel arriving without passes.

•	     Trade Stands will be entitled to 1 Car Pass for the Orange Gate on both Friday and Saturday which will allow access for 1 vehicle after 3.00 p.m. ONLY, into the old car park / horse box parking area.  However, this pass must be applied for in advance – vehicles turning up without a pass will be turned away! This pass will not entitle vehicles to enter the Main Showground – you must still wait until after 5.30 p.m. to do this.
