Exhibitor Rules and Regulations
General
- Space will be allocated by the Buckham Fair Committee (BFC) as regards to the area and position on the show ground. The BFC reserves the right to reject any proposed entry, or to cancel an entry without being required to give a reason. In such cases a full refund will be given. The BFC reserves the right to reposition exhibitors at any time before or during the show.
- Entry on the show web site and show guide. Information from exhibitors will be stored electronically and published on our web site and in the show guide. Submission of an application is consent for this.
- Sub-letting. Exhibitors are not permitted to sub-let any part of their allocated space.
- Fire precautions. Fire precautions and specific fire risk assessments are the responsibility of the exhibitor and all exhibitors must comply with current Fire Safety requirements throughout the set up, show and breakdown periods. We discourage the use of gas cylinders, including Calor gas, propane, butane and helium.
Cancellations
- Where an exhibitor cancels the space reserved for him 14 days before the date of the Show for any reason, all fees paid will be forfeited and the BFC reserves the right to relet the space.
- Cancellation of the event is at the discretion of the BFC.
