[messengermatt]

Hey All,

Well after all the required investigation etc we have been given the go ahead to host gloucestershire's first reptile, inverts and amphibians show.

It will currently be held at the hardwicke village hall although it is subject to change depending on how many people come along.

The costs will be

Table including electrical point £11

Table without electrical point £8

Pitch (bring your own table) no electric £7

Pitch (bring your own table) with electric £10

Adults entry will be £2.50 children free.

There will be 50 car parking spaces, there is 3 other car parks in the area also just off the M5 so is pretty direct to get to.

Disabled facilities are offered and there will be staff around all day and possibly some outside entertainment possibly a BBQ if its nice and sunny.

We will be hosting refreshments provided by local services and will have a vet on site at all times.

Rules will be mailed to exhibitors that are interested.

We dont have a fixed date yet although June/July time will be the plan we have a few dates in mind.

If anyone is interested in doing this for next year please let me know, we will have the website up shortly offering the ability to purchase tables online in advance and there will be free membership also.

Thanks everyone who has already come forward to offer assistance, if anyone else would like to be on board please PM me

Just an update for everyone the tables are 6ft long and about 3ft wide.

we are still looking at alternative venues aswell as the hall will only hold 150 people and when you have tables in there etc its going to decrease.

So....if anyone has any better suggestions as to a venue please PM me.

The dates we have been given to toy with are the following:

12th - 19th - 26th June

10th - 17th - 31st July

Welcome to the Hardwicke Village Hall Website is the link for people to see the venue

Just spoke to the lady from there and she said there is around 20/25 tables for our use along with their kitchen and possibly a lounge space with beverages etc.
I am going up there on Friday the 19th to toy with some layouts to see how many tables we can fit in i think it will be around 20, however if we get more interest we will move to a bigger venue

If you wish to book more than 1 table we can offer a discount on 2+

We now have 2 tables pre booked too!

And to finalise on this post lol inverts and amphibs are welcome too

We now have 4 tables booked, the website will be up shortly allowing you to purchase a table online. there are 4 to choose from

1x 6ft table with electric
1x 6ft table without electric
1x pitch with electric
1x pitch without electric

Will there be tables for people who have bred animals and have hatchlings or not? since its a show, i am imagining people might want to buy or sell animals with a view to breeding them maybe..

Just wondering

( I also have friends down that way who breed absolutely gorgeous leos and cresties.. not sure if they'd want a table they do breed and sell .. so they might.. but they will certainly come along for a look, since it is just round the corner from them.)

I wish you the best of luck

Holy crap i never thought i would see this!!
How is it coming along?
I live in Gloucester and theres only one or two decent pet shops aint there
What other forums have you advertised this on?
Would love to see it get massive
BTW as for a bugger venue, how about Beaufort community school?
That has some pretty big halls but im not sure if you can hire them or not.
