Re: SOUTH WEST CACTUS, SUCCULENT & EXOTIC PLANT FAIR. JUNE 26th 2021.

As previously stated our Fair is certainly still 'on', however as is to be expected there are some precautions that need to be taken to make it a secure event.
These have been guided by the Government rules as well as the venue owners which have only been finalised today.
So, here goes....................
All visitors and traders are required to wear a face covering. Upon arriving at the new entrance door you will be required to use your NHS App from your phone to register in or give contact details if you need to be contacted in the following weeks.
The main hall will allow 12 buyers to enter and move round the hall & stands in an anti-clockwise direction. Once they have moved on a further number of buyers will be allowed in.
From the hall there are another 3 stands to buy from in the former computer area. This then opens onto the cafe where you will have either a take away service or a table served section.
From there you exit the building then re-enter the building by the Main door where another 3 stands will be. Once finished you use the exit by the cafe.
All areas will have windows/vents open to provide fresh air inside.
Please only use the building for the buying of plants and use the outside areas to mix/socialise with others. This will allow others to follow into the halls to buy.
Traders that have card machines will prefer you to pay that way although cash can be taken but not encouraged.
5/6 marshals will be on hand to make sure you are using the facilities in a safe way or to give advice if needed.
Hand sanatisers will be at the main door, in the toilets and in use by the Traders around the venue.
The building will have been clinically cleaned before we take it over, then recleaned once the Fair is over by the Portishead Youth Centre staff.
I would ask those of you intending to come, to be patient with us as we keep people safe on the day.
Tony.
PS. A couple of stall changes....
Interior Oasis cannot attend due to staff illness.
Ministry of Botany also cannot attend due to problems receiving stock in a timely manner from the EU.
