IMPORTANT NOTICE TO EXHIBITORS 

The organisers are naturally concerned for the safety of the public at the show and this is of 

paramount importance in relation to Public Liability Insurance and the Health & Safety at Work 

Act 1974 with additions and amendments. An Agricultural Show presents many difficult 

problems because of numbers of people and livestock moving around on a large site. In order to 

comply with legal and insurers requirements it is necessary to segregate, as far as possible, 

livestock from the general public. The Society has therefore appointed Stewards to supervise 

the movements of people and livestock around the Show Field. 

THE DIRECTIONS OF THE STEWARDS MUST BE FOLLOWED AT ALL 

TIMES. 

Should any exhibitor fail to comply with the instructions of the stewards the Society will have no 

alternative but to remove that exhibitor’s entries from the Show Field and all fees paid and/ or 

prizes won will be forfeit. This condition will be strictly enforced and no appeal will be 

considered. 

PUBLIC SAFETY 

Stanhope Agricultural Society has made the best arrangements in their power for the safety of 

the general public, exhibitors and animals. 

THEY WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THE LOSS, DAMAGE OR INJURY TO ANY 

PERSONS, ANIMALS OR PROPERTY. THE PUBLIC ARE NOT TO ENTER ANY RING OR 

ENCLOSURE AND ARE TO BE VIGILANT OF VEHICLES AND ANIMALS MOVING AROUND 

THE SHOW FIELD. MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC PARTICIPATING IN ANY EVENT DO SO AT 

THEIR OWN RISK. 

DISABLED PARKING 

This A very can limited be located number in of the spaces paddock will adjacent be available to main on the field.
