ANY OTHER BUSINESS
SUPREME SHOW 2006
Miss May told the delegates that there had been problems, at the
show, i.e., the NEC had other shows on the same day, including the
BBC Good Food Show. The Supreme Show was held in the old halls; these
two problems combined made parking and access extremely difficult,
also the departure at the end of the show. The NEC will not allow
such clashes to happen in the future and our show will be held in
the new halls. The change of date to 17th November 2007, given to
us by the NEC, left the Committee with no option but to move to the
new date. Very sincere apologies were made to the four shows scheduled
to be held on 10th November.
Miss May advised the delegates that the GCCF had reached the end of
the penning contract with Danco and have requested quotes from other
companies unfortunately the Committee have not received any reply
from them, therefore, we will continue to use Bella and Danco.
The Supreme Committee have no guarantee that the NEC will allow exhibitors
access to the halls on Friday to decorate their pens. This has to
be negotiated with the NEC's Safety Officer by the Hall Manager.
