The County association (of which Kidderminster BKA is one of the seven branches) is an active participant in four shows which take place each year at the Three Counties Showground in Malvern,
The RHS Malvern Spring Festival
The shows inform and educate the public, promote beekeeping and offer members the opportunity to sell their honey. All these shows take a lot of organising which for many years has been done largely by one person, who has ultimately decided he needs to take a well-earned rest. That means we need people to take over, otherwise we’ll not be able to take part in the shows at all. It might turn out that we’re not able to do all of them straight away, but we need to look at which shows we think are important and do what we can to Save (at least some of) Our Shows.
We need
- a co-ordinator and team of 3–4 for Countrytastic
- someone to liaise between BBKA and WBKA and TCAS about the RHS Malvern Spring Festival and a support team of 3–4 to plan, set up and break down and to organise honey sales and stewarding
- someone to attend the Steering Committee and a team of 2–3 to plan, set up and organise stewarding for our bit of the Three Counties Show
- a Honey Show team of 5–6 to process the schedule, entries and prizes, arrange judge and steward, set up tables and receive exhibits, organise honey sales and organise stewarding and breakdown at the Malvern Autumn Show.
Which role might you take? Come and discuss your contribution on Monday 10 Feb at 7pm in Waitrose community room on London Road in Worcester.
