Hi
Thought I might just create a thread so that I can update you all with what's happening with the show planning, and how things are going
Well ,we've had our first show planning meeting, which went extremely well, so a big thank you to everyone who turned up. If you'd still like to help out just post your name to this thread, or contact Angela, or email [email protected]
And now the roller-coaster of news:
The bad news is that Essex County Council are charging us for the use of the park. Not content with making good, easy money from the car park, they're charging us £250 event licence fee. Also, please note that the car park charge has gone up to £3.50 a day. I don't want to get bogged down with the rights and wrongs of the charges in this thread, but please - if you have views let us know either before or at the AGM, as Essex County Council are up for discussion.
Ok, and now the good news.
Some might know, or even remember, that Springlodge Vets have supported the Greyhound Walks Show from the beginning. The owner, has very kindly (and quickly) offered to pay the event licence fee. Springlodge will also be offering much support before and on the day. So I would personally like to welcome Springlodge as a Greyhound Walks Show prime sponsor. Click for Springlodge
I have a couple of meetings scheduled over the next few weeks with two other possible prime sponsors - and am fairly confident of securing one of them.
Invitations have gone out to the GW Show 2013 pitch-holders inviting them to take a pitch at this years show. So far, the response has been swift and very positive. We already have a very good take up from both rehoming organisations and traders.
You may have seen the advert on our Facebook feed advertising for photographers. Well, we're very close to agreeing terms with two photographers, but are still looking for a third. If you'd be interested in helping, please contact either Janet or Angela, or post a reply to this thread. You'll preferably need to be using a dSLR, or at a push a high end compact camera (no phone cameras!!) and agree to some very simple terms. In return, we'll make a donation to a charity of your choice.
I think that'll do from me for now, but if you have any questions, either post them here at email them to [email protected]
