After another successful event for 2011 a provisional date has been set for 2012. So as not to clash with the Mayhem event which Martin has already announced as the first weekend in June (the traditional weekend for Alfold) the show will almost certainly be on 9th/10th June 2012. Reverting back to the first weekend of June in 2013. This is because of the change of date for the Bank Holiday and Diamond Jubilee next year. Look out for more details in the future as I will be handing the administration of the show over soon to the fundraising committee of the Society for which the money is raised.
Thank you all for your support over the past 15 years.
Alan

Hi All

Just to confirm that I am attempting to step into Alan's shoes and organise the event for 2012. I will soon have all the relevant paperwork and would invite all interested parties to PM me with their details so I can send them booking forms etc.

Many of you will be aware that Alan kindly organised this event on behalf of the charity I represent, raising over £34,000 in the 15 years that he ran it and we are extremely grateful. Out of respect to Alan and his family, who have supported him all the way, we wish to continue with his legacy, so your support, advice and guidance will be very much appreciated.

Here's to what I trust will be a successful 2012 event.

Regards

Trevor

Hi

To all you who have made enquiries information and entry forms are in todays post.

I appreciate the support and welcome any old and new exhibitors and traders. It is a great show and our aim is to ensure it continues that way.

It's a shame that this clashes with the CADMA Show in Doncaster, as several traders who might otherwise have attended will already have committed themselves to CADMA (like we have). Good luck to all concerned and I hope the weather is better for you than it has been for Mayhem!

Mmmmmmm I reckon that's going to be a hard act to follow, obviously Alan has been blessed owing to his Samaritan like personality, I am afraid I may not live up to that

alan colson · « **Reply #13 on:** January 19, 2012, 03:20:02 pm »

I will still be at the show and on my knees for a week or so in advance asking for the GOOD WEATHER

Hi all

Thanks to all of you who have already registered an interest for the Show, paperwork, etc. will be sent out shortly.

To those still to register or are thinking about it, please feel free to PM me or email me at [email protected] if you require further information.

Thank you

Trevor

I am back on line

Interest in the show is building, but still need more exhibitor entries.

All man power in place, so it is a case of simply asking for a form, booking, arriving and relax, whilst enjoying a chilled weekend on the water.

There are on site facilities to make the stay more pleasant, one is called the bar

, the others are cloakrooms and showers.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Now that is a question I will have to lett he experts out there answer, I simply do not know, as only doing the Administration. Perhaps someone who is attending can enlighten us both?

Less than two weeks away before the show and bookings going well, and I think I have managed to cover most things. Should there be any late comers it is not a problem as long as I get a booking form, a pass will either be sent out or arrangements will be made for collection on arrival.

Hopefully the weather will be kind as there are plenty of different clubs being represented this year.

Thanks to all of you who are supporting this event this year.

Trevor

The very few trade that would have booked into Alfold but have decided to go to the new show at Doncaster do not regularly attend the Alfold Show.
The Alfold Show core Trade are dedicated to that show for many reasons not least that it is a Charity Show 100%. It is local to most of the mixture of trade that attend it and it above all - it is the most friendliest show in the calender. Everybody enjoys the weekend away with no hassle, just sun, a huge Barby on the Saturday at the house and friendly people. It is a tribute to the people who put this show on including the bloke in pyjamas. Thank you Alan for the years that you have put this show on.
We as Trade travel around the country attending shows, most are hard work.
The Alfold Show has something that all of the other shows lack - dedicated people who go that extra mile. They hold your hand and show you where your pitch is when you get there and they wave you good bye when you leave!
