Default Maidstone show postponed! :(

Just thought i would let you guy's know that the Maidstone show has been postponed, it was supposed to be on the 18th April but not to sure it's gonna go ahead and this is why..........


IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT:

It is with regret that the organisers of the MRAC Reptile Expo scheduled for Spring April 18th and to be held in Maidstone has been postponed.

Earlier this week, the club (MRAC) was presented with new terms & conditions by the local council with regards the hire of the venue that we normally use. To meet with the new terms & conditions we (the organisers) would have to ammend the whole organisation process of the show completely. With this in mind, we (the organisers) feel that there is not enough time to put the new measures in place and still ensure the quality of show that we want to present and that the public and private breeders have become used to over the last couple of years. As well as the new terms & conditions, some of you will know that health problems have plagued the previous shows and as these are ongoing, they have to be taken into account have had some influence on this decision.

We (the organisers) are currently looking in more detail at how we can meet the new terms and conditions, while also exploring other possible venues, although the venue we currently use is/was ideal and will be hard to match.
However, we feel that to postpone the show now is the right thing to do, rather than try to cobble something together in a hurry and compromise the quality of the show.

This was not an easy decision to make and we hope that you understand our reasons for choosing to take this action.

(MRAC, Club Secretary)

i agree, the show was o.k, but to be honest,i prefer basildon, and if im really honest, im feed up with tablesfull of corns snakes, baby royals ( normalls ) and leo's..
i have given up on uk shows at the moment, there a great placeto go to, but they all now seem the same.
