WELCOME TO THE 2017 GREAT DORSET STEAM FAIR Dear Exhibitor/Trader Please find enclosed important information in relation to exhibiting/trading at this year’s show. It is important that you take the time to read this information as a number of changes have been made to the show guidelines and regulations since last year.

We are retaining our 5 day show status and you are reminded that your exhibit/stand must remain on show/open until 5pm on Bank Holiday Monday 28th August. Therefore, by signing your entry/application form you are making a firm commitment to agree to this requirement.

The first step to exhibiting/trading at the show is for you to complete and return the appropriate entry/application form. All forms are coloured to match the colour coded ‘Contents’ pages of this booklet (please refer to the relevant sections of this booklet before completing the form). You will find your form at the front of this booklet.

You will, I’m sure, appreciate that the 5pm closing time on Bank Holiday Monday will be strictly monitored and enforced by our Section Leaders. Clearly, as the public are paying for admission, there is an obligation to ensure that all exhibits and stands can be seen every day of the show according to our advertised opening times.

Please check that you have ordered the correct number of vehicle passes and tickets on your form as all passes/tickets will only be sent after we have received your completed form back. If you do not have the correct passes you will be unable to enter the showground.

Please read the important note below regarding ‘Arrival Dates & Times and Re-Entry’.

As many of you are aware, last year we moved our dates forward to include the August Bank Holiday weekend to enable the GDSF to again fall within the school Summer holidays. Therefore in 2017 our show will run from Thursday 24th August until Bank Holiday Monday 28th August inclusive.

Thank you for your support and we hope that you have a most enjoyable time at the show. In the meantime should you have any queries please contact your Section Leader or the Show Office.

Martin Oliver Managing Director

www.gdsf.co.uk 1. EXHIBITORS APPLICATION (Including Miniature Steam Exhibitors) Application for entries must be made on the enclosed pink entry form (no photocopies will be accepted). Entries will close on June 1st. It is essential to enter by this date as late entries will not be accepted. This is a five day show and entries must come for this period.

ACCEPTANCE OF ENTRIES All applicants will be notified within 14 days of close of entries if their entry is not accepted. All exhibitors whose entries are accepted will be sent passes by mid August. Passes will not be sent unless a signed entry form has been received. Great Dorset Steam Fair Limited reserves the right to refuse any entry at its discretion.

QUALITY OF ENTRIES It is our policy to seek out quality exhibits to attend the show each year. As such you will see on the entry form that this year we have allowed space for details of three alternative exhibits that you may own. Therefore, when completing the form you are reminded that you will stand a better chance of being successful if you state potential exhibits which are rare or unusually interesting. Remember, however, that only one exhibit can be accepted.

HEAVY HAULAGE ARENA – CODE OF PRACTICE With regard to Diesel Heavy Haulage exhibits only, in order for you and/or any of your crew to drive your vehicle in the Heavy Haulage Arena at this year’s show, you must all thoroughly read and agree to abide by the rules set out in the “Heavy Haulage Arena – Code of Practice” which is enclosed with your entry form.

MINIATURE STEAM EXHIBITS The GDSF will be inspecting for the validity of engine insurance and boiler certification. It is recommended that you display a current N.T.E.T insurance disc. However, if you are not with the disc scheme you may, at the organisers discretion, still be allowed entry if a full set of valid insurance and boiler inspection documents can be produced.

VEHICLE PASSES All Exhibitors will be issued with one vehicle pass which will admit one vehicle to the site together with two adults (including the driver), two children age 6-15 years and any children under 6 years of age. In exceptional circumstances and at the discretion of your Section Leader, a second vehicle pass may be issued which will admit the driver only. Should other persons require entry in the second vehicle you will need to apply to your Section Leader who will issue relevant hand passes if deemed appropriate. Where a second vehicle pass is issued, either the first or second vehicle pass may be used to bring your exhibit or caravan as individual circumstances require. Any additional persons not sanctioned by the Section Leader will be charged the normal entrance fees. If there is a dispute the fee must be paid and you should then take your query to the Show Office on site, where a refund will be made if justified.

Entries will close on July 1st. It is essential to enter by this date as late entries will not be accepted. This is a five day show and entries must come for this period. ACCEPTANCE OF ENTRIES All successful entries will be sent passes by Mid August. Passes will not be sent unless a signed entry form has been received.

VEHICLE PASSES All full size steam engine, organ and World War One exhibitors will be issued with sufficient vehicle passes which will each admit one vehicle to the site together with two adults (including the driver), two children age 6-15 years and any children under 6 years of age. SPECIAL NOTES: 1. BOILER CERTIFICATES AND INSURANCE The GDSF will be inspecting for the validity of engine insurance and boiler certification. It is recommended that you display a current N.T.E.T insurance disc. However, if you are not with the disc scheme you may, at the organisers discretion, still be allowed entry if a full set of valid insurance and boiler inspection documents can be produced. Self-propelled exhibits must be compliant with the Road Traffic Act for Insurance and Licensing Purposes, and carry the minimum third party insurance as required by the Road Traffic Act. Engine Owners must ensure that suitable, competent supervision is in place for their engine, at all material times whilst it is in steam. 2. SHOWMAN’S ENGINES Where practicable, an effective guard should always be fitted to prevent access to the inrunning nip between belt and flywheel and belt and dynamo pulley. If effective guards cannot be fitted or if the engine owner is not prepared to fit them, suitable precautions that prevent access to the belt side of the engine are required whilst the engine is generating. Engine Owners must ensure that suitable, competent supervision is in place for their engine, at all material times whilst it is in steam. All electrical connections to a Showman’s Engine shall comply with the terms of the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989. All dynamo terminals or other live electrical equipment or conductors that are within reach should be insulated and protected by a suitable cover. (Note: Covers fabricated from rigid transparent plastic sheet are inconspicuous and can be suitable for this purpose.)

3. HEAVY HAULAGE ARENA CODE OF PRACTICE If you and/or any of your crew intend to drive your engine in the Heavy Haulage Arena at this year’s show, you must all thoroughly read and agree to abide by the rules set out in the “Heavy Haulage Arena – Code of Practice” which is attached to your entry form. 4. APPEARANCE FEES The Appearance Fee quoted is our financial offer for the appearance of your engine/organ/exhibit at this year’s show. The fee quoted will take into account the size and type of your exhibit together with your home location and distance travelling to and from the show site. If you make your own arrangements for haulage YOU will be responsible for the cost, NOT the Organisers, if different from the Appearance Fee. Any exhibit leaving the show before 5pm on the Bank Holiday Monday will be subject to a reduction of the Appearance Fee if not previously agreed. This also applies to late arrivals at the start of the event. Exhibits travelling by their own power can be given coal for the return journey, which can be deducted from the Appearance Fee if so wished. Appearance fees will normally be paid during October and early November. 5. BAD WEATHER If the weather is ‘bad’ this year your appearance fee may be reduced. This will only happen if deemed absolutely necessary by the Show Directors. Thank you for your cooperation.

3. TRADE STANDS APPLICATION AUTO JUMBLE STANDS APPLICATION CHARITY/PRESERVATION SOCIETY STANDS APPLICATION GENERAL TRADE STANDS (not including Autojumble or Charity stands) Application for Trade Stands must be made on the enclosed green application form (no photocopies will be accepted). All forms must be returned by 1st May 2017 together with a 20% deposit cheque and a post-dated cheque for the remaining balance dated 1st July 2017. Both cheques must be returned by 1st May 2017 in order to secure a pitch. There are over 15 acres of outside space allocated for Trade Stands at the show each year. All pitches are ‘open space’ sites and will be sold on a pre-allocation basis. Rents are charged at £24.00 per foot frontage plus VAT with a minimum frontage of 12ft. A 12ft frontage pitch is therefore £288.00 plus VAT. All pitch frontages are sold in multiples of 3ft as follows: 12ft (minimum), 15ft, 18ft, 21ft, 24ft, 27ft, 30ft, 33ft, 36ft, 39ft, 42ft, 45ft, 48ft, 51ft, 54ft, 57ft, 60ft and so on. If your normal pitch frontage falls between these 3ft multiples then your frontage will need to be rounded up to the next 3ft multiple. We are also offering electricity for stands in this section. If you require electrical hook-up please complete the appropriate part of your application form along with your payment. All pitches are 40ft standard depth. (Larger depth stands can be arranged in occasional circumstances with the overall price adjusted accordingly). Over 500 Trade Stands will be present at the 2017 show.

TRADE STANDS IN SPECIALISED AREAS If you want an alternative area to trade in and be adjacent to a specific activity, there are many other areas that can accommodate Trade stands, for example: • Campsites – Camping accessories stands • Tractor Areas – Tractor/Farm equipment stands • Commercial Vehicles Section • Horse Ring – Equine equipment or services Trade Stands in Specialised Areas should still apply using the green Application for Trade Stands Form. AUTO JUMBLE STANDS Application for Auto Jumble Stands must be made on the enclosed blue application form (no photocopies will be accepted). All forms must be returned by 1st July 2017 together with a cheque for the full amount of the rent. 150 Auto Jumble ‘open space’ pitches are available in this section of the showground. Rents are charged at £21.00 per foot frontage plus VAT with a minimum frontage of 12ft. A 12ft frontage pitch is therefore £252.00 plus VAT. All pitches are 40ft standard depth. There will be no preallocation for Auto Jumble stands in 2017 and stands will be sited on arrival as in previous years. However, consideration will be given to pre-allocating auto Jumble stands in the future. Similarly, electric hook-up will not be available in 2017 but will be considered for future years.

Toilet and Fencing Hire YOU can now hire a toilet or heras fencing directly from the Great Dorset Steam Fair. There are public toilets on site but if you wish to hire your own private toilet or heras fencing, you can now book online by completing the downloadable order form at www.gdsf.co.uk or call the Show office on 01258 860361.

CHARITY/PRESERVATION SOCIETY STANDS Application for Charity/Preservation Society Stands must be made on the enclosed pale orange application form (no photocopies will be accepted). All forms must be returned by 1st July 2017 together with a cheque for the full amount of the rent. Rents are charged at £15.00 per foot frontage plus VAT with a minimum frontage of 12ft. A 12ft frontage pitch is therefore £180.00 plus VAT. All pitches are 40ft standard depth. Sorry, no electricity available for stands in this section. IMPORTANT SPACING REQUIREMENTS FOR TRADE STANDS, AUTO JUMBLE STANDS & CHARITY/PRESERVATION STANDS Fire safety legislation, dictates appropriate spacing requirements affecting caravans, stock vehicles and the rear of stands. These spacing requirements will be strictly enforced at the 2017 show. We are aware that most traders, auto jumblers, etc. will want to camp on their pitch and will be using a caravan as accommodation. At the rear of your stand you will be required to have a one metre space between the back of your stand and any caravan, tent, etc. All caravans will be required to have 3m clear spacing on the other three sides. Any stock vehicle parked behind a caravan will also need the 3m clear separation from the caravan. All 3m spaces must be kept clear of any obstructions.

PITCH FRONTAGE FOR TRADE STANDS, AUTO JUMBLE STANDS & CHARITY/PRESERVATION STANDS It is essential that you book the required amount of space for your pitch. Your caravan must be positioned parallel to your trade stand. When calculating your pitch footage you MUST book the appropriate frontage for either your stand width OR the total length of your caravan (including drawbar) – whichever is the greater in length. Caravans with attached awnings (used as the stand) will be permitted. Again, please make sure you include the drawbar when you calculate your frontage requirements. PITCH DEPTH FOR TRADE STANDS, AUTO JUMBLE STANDS & CHARITY/PRESERVATION STANDS All pitch depths will be 40ft to allow for the extra spacing in depth needed on your pitch. PLEASE SEE THE FOLLOWING DIAGRAMS SHOWING THE PERMITTED LAYOUT OF STANDS/PITCHES see opposite (These are the same requirements as for the previous five years.) IF YOU FAIL TO BOOK THE CORRECT SPACE (FRONTAGE) YOU MAY FORFEIT YOUR PITCH ON THE SHOWGROUND If you have any queries regarding your pitch, please call the Show Office on 01258 860361 and ask for Jenny Duncombe. TRADERS PARKING A traders parking area will be available offering a parking location close to the Trade & Auto Jumble areas. Only one stock vehicle will be able to park on your pitch (except where large stands allow extra room for a second vehicle) and all other vehicles must be parked in the traders parking area.
