Application FAQs
Information about the application process that returning and new trade exhibitors may find useful!
Please contact the Trade team. It may be that your proposal has been accidentally missed or that it is being held back. This could be due to a number of reasons such as review of layout in that area.
If you have received your proposal from the Team, within this email you will find a link asking you to review your proposal. If you would like to request any changes, please ‘QUERY’ and include any change requests in the box supplied. The Tradestand Team will review the requested changes and will be in touch in due course. If you have not received your proposal – please contact the Tradestands team who will advise further.
The Society have recognised that the current process leaves limited opportunities for new business by the time the applications close to returning. By opening the applications to all, it removes the risk of empty plots throughout the Showground creating a better Show for everyone involved. Removing this option also allows the team significantly more time to process applications. Priority will still be granted to returning stands and any changes will be fully communicated in advance. However, RHASS reserves the right to make changes should they choose.
Each year stand pricing is determined by a number of factors. This includes inflation, costs and demand. Each area is thoroughly reviewed by both the Team and Board and any changes to prices are determined based on the 3 factors mentioned previously. As part of this exercise, the team will benchmark these prices to ensure that they are in line with similar Shows. Unfortunately, as costs have increased across the board over the last few years by almost 30%, RHASS has had no option but to increase stand costs.
Each application is reviewed thoroughly. With over 800 stands to evaluate, this can be a long process. If you have not heard back within 30 days, we would encourage you to prompt the team for an update.
Once your application has been approved you will be issued with a login to your E-Net account where all this information can be uploaded.
No – this is no longer a requirement. However should you wish to support RHASS and enjoy the benefits of being a RHASS member, we would encourage you to apply for this via the Membership Team.
