Rules & Instructions
- It will assist with the smooth running of the sales stand if you take the time to comply with the following rules & instructions. The Stewards are at liberty to refuse any entries that they deem do not comply with either the spirit of the Member to Member Sales Stand or the Rules.
- Selling items on the stand is a service provided for Members only & each member is restricted to a maximum of 10 lots. Members will be asked to produce a current membership card when booking lots in.
- Book’s, Video’s & DVD’s of Narrow Gauge interest may be sold, but Magazines & Periodicals will NOT be accepted for sale.
- Each item for sale must have a LARGE TIE-ON PARCEL LABEL securely attached which display lot number & the selling price. Please ensure that the price shown is to the nearest 50 pence. It is very difficult to deduct 10% from £9.99. Note - Items with Self-adhesive labels will be refused.
- The lot number is your Association membership number followed by 1,2,3, etc., up to a maximum of 10. For example, if your 16mm membership number is 4321 & you wish to sell items in three lots, then the first lot would be 4321-1; the second lot would be 4321-2 & the third lot 4321-3.
- Items for sale must be listed on an official form (available by clicking here), using a separate line for each lot, e.g. if you are selling five identical items, then you should specify each item on a separate line, unless you are selling them as one lot of five items together, when they should be listed as a single item.
- Please complete columns 1 & 3 on the form for each lot.
- The completed booking form should be sent to Mr P.B. Mellor, 203, Denton Avenue, Grantham, Lincolnshire, NG31 7JQ, by the 25th March 2012. Booking forms must be returned to Mr Mellor prior to the event. Any Items presented on the day of the show, which have not been pre-booked, will only be accepted for sale at the discretion of the Sales Stand Co-ordinator.
- 10% of the sale price of all items sold is to be donated to
the Association by the member selling the items, up to a maximum
of £100 per item. This sum will be deducted at the time the
member collects his/her money & any remaining unsold items.
Note, if all your lots are sold & the buyer(s) have paid by cheque(s), the 10% commission cannot be deducted from your proceeds. Instead you should be prepared to have sufficient money or a cheque book available, in order to pay the commission to the Association. Otherwise, your proceeds will be held back by the Sales Stand Co-ordinator, until the 10% commission is paid. - Sale proceeds can be collected at any time after 2.00pm, but must be collected by 4.00pm at the latest, along with any unsold items. Uncollected items will be disposed of for the benefit of the Association. You must return your receipt to the Booking-In clerk if you wish to collect any unsold Items from the Sales stand.
