Grooming Spaces during NDS
To accommodate the grooming needs of entrants the event will have three separate areas where members can book grooming spaces. Alongside the amenities building veranda we will have erected a large marquee, complete with raised flooring, where members can book grooming spaces. Grooming spaces will be two metre x 1.5 per space. Walkways into the exhibition building will be provided to ensure weather protection. Marquee grooming spaces must be pre-booked.We will also be providing 3 x 3 metre Premium gazebo spaces to allow exhibitors to erect their own gazebo’s. In this area all walkways will have raised flooring to allow access to the exhibition area without walking on the grassed area. Premium spaces must be pre-booked.
In addition, members will be able to book regular gazebo spaces to erect their own gazebo’s however these areas will not have raised walkway access to the building and will require their dogs to walk on the grass walkways. Regular gazebo spaces must be pre-booked.
