FAIRS AND LOCATIONS
Terms and
Coniditons
at MGM's Dolls House and Miniature
Fairs.
It is preferable that fair bookings are made on the MGM Fairs Booking form, but not essential. Due to the reduced number of fairs we are holding this year, the Membership Programme has been suspended.
A 25% deposit for each table will be required at the time of booking. The balance of 75% of the full table price is then payable on the day. The deposit is held against cancellation and default on tables booked, but any non-arrival at our fairs or late cancellations will result in us sending you an invoice for the balance of the monies due. A late booking may be taken at the discretion of the Organiser for which full payment will be required on the day. However if a table is booked and the stand holder does not turn up or it is not canceled in sufficient time for them to re-let that table, the stand holder will become liable for the full costs of that table, and an invoice will be sent for settlement of the table price.
Acknowledgment in writing of your Booking Form and monies, confirms and secures your table reservations.
Cash is always acceptable, but where appropriate please make all cheques payable to MGM.
All the venues have different tables, and their widths vary, but they are around 2'6" wide. Therefore, if any stand holder wishes to bring boards to standardise the width of their table, they may do so. The prices we have quoted are for a standard table, in most cases this is 6ft, but can apply to other sizes as well, if in doubt, please check with us before booking.
All our halls have a no~smoking policy. Our insurance forbids defacing all and any walls in all and any venues, so it must be mentioned that anyone putting up notices / boards and advertisements not sanctioned by the Organiser could face a fine of up to £250.
On the Booking Form stand-holders are asked to give an accurate account of the stock they will be selling, and the percentage of imported stock. This description will not only be used to facilitate your siting at the fair, but also used as your description into our Fair Leaflets, and on our web site. Only the goods you have declared beforehand will be sanctioned for your table and you may be asked to remove unauthorized items.
Exhibitors must not knowingly bring to the fair or offer for sale any item that has been copied from the copyright designs of (an) other craftsperson(s) or that is restricted by contractual agreements elsewhere. Where legal action has been initiated in respect of such infringements the alleged perpetrator must not bring the item or items in dispute to the fair. The Organisers and the venue and their servants and agents will not accept any liability whatsoever for any loss of business sustained by any exhibitor whatsoever that may result from this or any other exclusion(s) of items that the Organisers at their discretion may deem to be prudent. Exhibitors should satisfy themselves that they are not infringing copyright law in any way whatsoever. Exhibitors must not do anything or display any item(s) that could bring the event or the organiser or the venue into disrepute.
Due to the Fire Regulations at our venues, no extra tables, stands or paste tables will be allowed either behind, beside or in front of your allotted table. Be warned.... If you erect any, you will be asked to remove them, unless they have been agreed with the organiser beforehand.
All stands will have 2 chairs supplied and access to an electrical point, but it may be appropriate to bring an extension cable. Please bring a suitable cloth to cover your table.
We are opening most venues to the stand-holders from 7.3Oam, the Fairs will then close at 4.00pm, unless otherwise advised. We would therefore, request that no stand holder breaks down their stand until the end of the fair, however, modest tidying up behind is permitted as long as it is discreet. We have been advised that evening functions are sometimes held after our Fairs and we will therefore need to vacate some of the Halls by 6.00pm, but you will be advised of these before hand.
Most of our Fairs are situated in town centers and all are easily located and accessible. Car Parking is available at all the venues, but some have Pay and Display car parks and information on these are given in the Venue notes and re-affirmed closer to the time of each fair.
MGM Fairs and the Organiser reserves the right to alter or amend these conditions at any time, to effect the smooth running of the shows. October 2007
