We've had a few enquiries about the stall fee, which has been raised to £20, and we'd like to explain the reasons for this which we hope you will understand and still feel that you can support us on Carnival day.
The reasons for the increase are:-
- Following a much needed review of our insurance, we felt that our policy needed to be amended to ensure that both our visitors and helpers were correctly insured. This lead to an increase from £225 to £525.
- Stall fees haven't increased in nearly 15 years.
- More and more of our stall holders are requesting additions such as electrical supply, which means that if we are able to accommodate this it puts a greater strain on our resources and usually results in additional expense.
- This was tabled at our AGM in October 2015 and we received no negative feedback.
- The Village Show charges £25 for a stall so we felt it was not an excessive amount to charge.
- The funds we raise are passed back to local charities and community groups in the village.
I hope that you will understand the reason for our increase and hope that you will join us at this much supported village event. We look forward to receiving your application soon.
