Riverina Field Days

Information & Facilities

CATERING:

 

All catering, except the Publican’s Booth, has been let out on a contractual basis, which will provide exhibitors and public alike with a wide  variety and high standard of food and drink – all dispensed with speedy efficiency.   A couple of catering outlets will be manned on both the Wednesday and Thursday prior to the Field Day for the benefit of exhibitors setting up.

 

SECURITY:

 

Security is provided by a registered security firm for the whole site from the Wednesday night prior to the Field Day until the Sunday morning.  Exhibitors are responsible for the security of their own site until  6 pm on the Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings.

 

The site will be lit and patrolled throughout the night, however NO responsibility is taken for theft, loss or damage by the controlling body of the Riverina Field Days, the Griffith Showground Trust and the Coro Club.

 

For a week prior to this and for four days after the event the gates to the site are locked, thus preventing access.     

 

WATER SUPPLY:

 

Water is supplied to some sites via pipes and taps for which exhibitors need their own hoses.   For the supply of larger amounts of water to fill demonstration displays, the Riverina Field Days will have a water tanker on hand.  Prior arrangements for this service should be made with the organiser.  

 

GARBAGE COLLECTION:

 

Garbage will be collected late on Thursday evening and again at least twice per day during the Field Day with a run being made late on Friday for any late unpacking.

 

FORKLIFTS & CRANE

 

As part of the overall service to exhibitors, the RFD will provide heavy duty unloading and loading equipment as follows:

Unloading & Loading

Forklifts: Monday to Thursday + Saturday to Tuesday

Crane:  Thursday + Saturday only

 

There will be NO unloading done after 6 pm on Thursday and only under very exceptional circumstances will unloading be done on the Friday morning but only between 7.00 am—8.00 am.   NO loading will commence until 4 p.m. on the Saturday and will cease at 6 pm but will start again on Sunday morning at 8.00 am..

 

The crane will be ordered on Thursday at a specific time to enable all exhibitors requiring the crane to be unloaded at the same time. The same will apply for loading on the Saturday night. 

 

Requirements by exhibitors outside these times for loading or unloading will be organised by, and at the exhibitor’s own expense.

Because of Public Liability  and OH&S there will be NO vehicle access to the field day site between 8.00 am and 5 p.m. on Friday and between 8.00 am and 4 p.m. on Saturday except to the Public Parking areas.  Any exhibitor arriving after 8.00 am will be forced to leave their vehicle in the Public areas.   Some exceptions could be made by the gate person contacting the Organiser.

 

USE OF DISPLAY AIDS.

 

Machinery, especially tractors needed for the demonstration of sprays, mulchers, posthole diggers etc. will be responsibility of the exhibitor.  The Riverina Field Days WILL NOT be providing any machinery for exhibitors.
