I have a meeting with the CEO of Manfeild on Thursday 3 July.  Apart from the floor, which I know is a sore point, is there anything else you’d like me to raise?

    Morning Owen. Congrats on your appointment, and this Blog! I think Manfeild is a brilliant option for winter shows. From my limited experience with using Manfeild I wonder if clubs and exhibitors could have some clearer communication about some of the details - Cost for campers (there seems to be some changes since the initial shows, cost of having showers open and how clubs can manage their budget by ensuring that they only have what they need, access to the venue outside office hours and who is responsible for night time lock ups and security, responsibility for unlocking and locking power access, is there any additional costs for having the building open at night and is there planning for a dump station in a place that is used by numbers of campers, especially for longer events like Nationals. (Ardmore used a temp system for Nats but this was not permitted at Manfeild.) Thanks!

    See the separate post I'm putting up about my visit. I forgot to ask about the dump station (sorry) so I'll send an email and ask.

  Question from Sarah Sowman: Thank you for the information provided with regard to options and requirements for our replacement lower north island venue. Greatly appreciated.   For clarity, please can you advise ...  Is the information around the working group terms of reference etc (as described on page 6 of the July edition of NZ Dog World ) printed to explain the previous arrangements that were in place - or is a new working group to be established?   Otherwise is there to be no working group, and do individual members / clubs investigate possible venue scenarios?   A: The Terms of Reference that were published were the original ones, intended to show readers the thoroughness of the instructions that were given to the Working Group, and for the information of anyone who wanted to make any new suggestions. The Working Group was disestablished by the outgoing Executive Council, at my request, and if any new suggestions are received that meet the ...
