IMPORTANT SHOW INFORMATION

The Three Counties Agricultural Showground is arguably one of the finest venues in the country for dog exhibitors and offers a wide range of facilities. The showground nestles at the foot of the Malvern Hills, which provides a dramatic backdrop to the show.

This is an agricultural venue used by all types of livestock. Exhibitors must be realistic, although a `clean up' operation will have taken place prior to our show, there will be smells and dust associated with such use. The area used for the outside grass may be more comparable to a garden lawn where dogs live, it is certainly not a bowling green surface and as such the condition of the rented ground is beyond the control of the NGA. If you have any doubt about moving your dogs on a grass surface, showing some wear and tear then please think carefully before entering your dog. The aforementioned constitutes fair warning and the NGA cannot be held responsible for dogs which are unable for one reason or another to move on what might be considered normal outdoor surfaces.

NO PASSES WILL BE SENT OUT. Please complete the 'Records of Dogs entered' form on page 20. It is advisable that you also send a stamped addressed postcard/envelope for confirmation of receipt of your entry. It is the exhibitors responsibility to know which dogs they have entered. There will be no opportunity to confirm that your entry has been received later on.

CATALOGUES: Catalogues can only be purchased at the Show. There are no pre-ordered catalogues. Lists of exhibitors and bench numbers will be available within the entrance to each building where the benching is housed for those not wishing to purchase a catalogue.

UNENTERED DOGS: Please note the `Not For Competition' provision, for those dogs that you do not wish to leave at home. Your dogs will be benched along with your entered dog. Puppies under four months of age cannot be accepted NFC all other dogs irrespective of the breed will be accepted. The NGA also recognises KC regulations concerning `spectator's dogs'. That is dogs brought into the showground with spectators who can for a fee of ?3.00 register them with the Secretary after having completed the necessary KC form. Puppies under four months of age would not be accepted under `spectator's dog' criteria by the NGA.

CAR PARKING is FREE. All exhibitors will use the BROWN GATE into the Brown Car Park to enter the showground. The NGA is committed to our Disabled exhibitors who should display their blue disabled badge and who will then be directed to a designated area for disabled drivers within this car park. We have allowed in excess of that set out in Health and Safety guidelines and we have also taken into account previous year's car park figures. Whilst we try and deliver good service to our disabled exhibitor's places can only be made on a first come first served basis. This designated area is closer to the majority of benching areas than any area used in the past for disabled parking. Please consider the location of the car parking carefully before making your entry.

Pedestrian access will be through the West Gate Pedestrian access/exit. Directional boards and Directional Stewards will assist you in finding your benching and ring area. These should not be changed from previous years. See classification list for benching details.

DOGS IN VEHICLES: THE COMMITTEE INTEND TO REFUSE ENTRIES FOR FUTURE SHOWS FROM EXHIBITORS FOUND TO THE SATISFACTION OF THE COMMITTEE TO HAVE LEFT DOGS IN A DISTRESSED CONDITION IN VEHICLES.

HEALTH AND SAFETY WARNING -- Conditions under foot may become wet due to inclement weather. It is therefore advisable to wear shoes which will reduce the risk of slipping on such a wet surface.

A Health & Safety Officer is appointed at this show. Exhibitors and visitors to the show are reminded that just as the NGA have responsibility to ensure the health and safety of all those attending the event, all those attending have a duty to care for their own safety. You are therefore expected to take the greatest care to avoid uneven surfaces and other hazards which are inevitable and an integral element of an outdoor show. Those bringing and using portable items of equipment such as folding chairs, trolleys, cages and grooming tables have a duty of care not only to themselves and their equipment/dogs, but also to other exhibitors and visitors to the show. Please DO NOT erect gazebos within the precincts of the Show.

SECURITY: In making an entry for this show you agree to be solely responsible for the security of your dogs and property within the showground area, during the show. Please consider this before entering the show. The National Gundog Association cannot accept responsibility for any item stolen during the show.

COOKED BREAKFASTS: Will be served in the Stockman's building from 8.00 am.

TRADE STAND HOLDERS: The committee of the National Gundog Association cannot accept responsibility for products advertised or sold by stand holders at this show and exhibitors are reminded that grooming products on sale may not meet the requirements of the Regulations for the Preparation of Dogs for Exhibition.

UNAUTHORISED SELLING OF GOODS: There is to be NO selling of goods from any areas within the showground without authority. Trade stands are an integral part of the show and have paid for the privilege to sell their goods within the precincts of the show. There is no automatic right to sell goods by any other person attending the show. Anyone found selling goods from anywhere on the showground without such authority will be asked to leave the showground immediately.

CARAVANS: Caravan facilities will be provided by the Three Counties Showground from Monday 30th July 2018 to Thursday 9th August 2018 to include the URC Show. There is no pre-booking at this time but plenty of pitches. Cost approx. ?16.00 per night per pitch, electricity ?5.00 per night per pitch on a first come first serve basis. Please DO NOT ring the NGA Show Secretary.

BY CAR -- Refer to the map on the rear of the inside cover.

BY RAIL -- Great Malvern Station is approximately 2 miles from the showground.

HOTELS AND GUEST HOUSES -- please contact the Malvern Tourist Information Centre on 01684 892289. One dog friendly B&B: Jenny Barnes (01684 833662 / 07807 877859).
