NOTICE TO ALL
MEMBERS
WASTE REMOVAL AT VICTORIAN AGRICULTURAL SHOWS
Over a period of time several Shows have highlighted an issue that they have with unrelated show waste being left on the grounds at the end of a Show.
This has ranged from drums of motor oil, mattresses, car parts and many other items which comes at a cost for the Societies to remove.
I request that this matter is highlighted to your Members and that they remove any of their associated waste items at their expense or some fees will have to be passed onto the Guild to cover the Societies rising costs.
