After the success of last years expo we have gone ahead with a bigger and better one for 2009. It will be held at the PCYC in Yarroon Street in Gladstone again, (but in the bigger stadium) and will be on Saturday 18th April 2009 between 9 am - 4pm (we were trying to keep it on anzac day weekend, but the public holiday is the Saturday this year and we couldn't get access to the venue).
Due to the laws and regulations in Queensland, no animals or accessories can be bought ,sold or advertised AT THE EVENT. Also NO VENOMOUS SNAKES are allowed apart from what we have already organised.
Stall holders are allowed to hand out buisness cards, so if people like what they see thay may wish to get in contact with you AFTER THE EXPO or at a later date. Most of the breeders done very well out of this last year.
FROGS are permitted this year but still no spiders allowed.
If you wish to book a site, please send me PM, email me at [email protected] or call me on 0422 589 221. It is a flat fee of $50/site (for as many reptiles as you like). Tables are available for site holders to use at the venue, some are good condition but some are in average condition, so we are encouraging stall owners to bring some of they're own if they wish.
if You wish to book a site i will need the following information:
- Name
- Licence number
- Amount and species of reptiles or frogs you wish to display
On a side note,Woma's are still an issue with QPAW and we can only show them under a demonstrators licence,so at this stage they will have to be left at home(unless you have a demonstrators licence).we will have a couple on display though.
This information is passed onto parks and wildlife and i will need this information BEFORE THE 5TH OF APRIL.
RULES-
- NO venomous snakes
- NO arachnids(spiders)
- NO unlicenced reptiles
- NO exotic snakes
- NO sick or injured reptiles(extremely important)
- NO other pets or animals(rats,mice birds,dogs cats ,etc)
- Turning up to exhibit without a booking, or with extra reptiles(that aren't on the paperwork i received) will be turned away.
- Children must be supervised
- Tapping or touching the enclosures will not be tolerated
- No buying, selling, or advertising at the expo (plain clothed rangers turn up on the day to check everything)
- You can handle your reptiles, and allow others to (if you wish) but keep in mind, use friendly reptiles,dont handle them to long(give them a break), bring alcohol wipes or sprays to use to help quarrentine, dont wander with the reptiles(keep them in your area).
We have plenty of talks and demonstrations on the day organised including Simon and Diane Stone from Southern Cross Reptiles showing their support again. Another feature is Luke Allen from Venom Supplies and Kris Foster with his venomous demonstration. Koorana Crocodile Farm will be back again this year with their crocodiles and more features are yet to be named.
Awards will be handed out at the end of the day for the "best of species", which will also help out breeders.
Entry Fee is
- Adults $10
- Uunder 15 $2
- Pensioners $2
This is a "not for profit" Expo and the proceedes will be donated to a charity.
It will be a fun and interesting day so come along and check it out.the more site holders the better.feel free to download the poster and put it up around the place if you wish to support the expo and contact me for any info.
cheers
