Fair Organising Committee

1. Each stall is subject to the scrutiny of the Fair Organising Committee prior to acceptance.  Stalls considered to be inappropriate will be rejected and the decision will be final.
2. The Fair Organising Committee will endeavour to limit the number of competing food stall holders to encourage a wider spread of food alternatives.  However stall holders should not assume that competing food types would not occur.
3. Healthy food options are preferred.  
4. The Fair Organising Committee is unable to accommodate “preferred” site placements.  Condition of the grounds, stall holders, rides and activities vary from year to year which necessitates different layouts.
