Annexure
Inskrywings : (a) Alle uitstallers moet asseblief die ingang in Meadestraat gebruik om hulle
plante af te laai, in te skryf en na die skou weer op te laai.
(b) Daar word vanjaar 2013 van „n rekenaarprogram vir die inskrywing van plante
gebruik gemaak. Die doel is om die in en uitboek van plante vinnig en akkuraat te
laat verloop. Daar sal twee persone wees wat die inskrywings gaan inboek en na
sluiting van die skou gaan uitboek. Die plante sal in en uit ge-“scan” (geskandeer)
word.
(c) Die inskrywingsvorm bestaan uit 4 bladsye en bevat ook die kategorië om dit
vir uitstallers makliker te maak.
Die inskrywingvorm moet vir Ida in die geheel op of voor 17:00 op Dinsdag 24
September 2013 bereik. Na sluiting sal Ida en Kobus die inskrywingskaarte van
elke uitstaller wat ingeskryf het voorberei.
Gedurende die oggende van 26 & 27 September 2013 sal die inskrywingskaarte
by Kobus in die skousaal beskikbaar wees.
(d) Die inskrywingskaart bestaan uit twee dele. Die linkerkant bevat die
besonderhede van die uitstaller en die besondere plant wat ingeskryf is.
Die regter kant bevat „n “n barcode” en „n nommer. Dit vorm die identiteit van die
besondere plant.
(e) Op die dag van die inskrywing sal een persoon plante inboek waar daar nie
veranderings aangebring word nie. Die ander persoon sal die inskrywings waar
veranderinge gemaak word handteer.
(f) Indien die uitstaller geen verandering aan sy inskrywings wil aanbring nie kan
die uitstaller sy inskrywingskaarte aan die pot van die besondere plant met „n
skuifspeld (wat voorsien sal word) te heg. Dit moet so gedoen word dat die
“barcode” vertoon word en die skuifspeld moet nie oor die “ barcode” geplaas word
nie.
Nadat al die inskrywingskaarte geheg is moet die uitstaller sy plante in die saal
neem verby die persoon wat by die ingang aangewys sal word en waar elke plant
ingeboek word deur die “barcode” te “scan”. Hierna sal persone aandiens wys
waar die plante by die korrekte kategorië op die tafels geplaas moet word.
(g) As „n uitstaller veranderings wil aanbring moet die uitstaller sy
inskrywingskaarte by Kobus afhaal en dan die persoon wat veranderings hanteer
sonder sy plante met sy inskrywingskaarte nader. Die inskrywingskaart / e wat die
uitstaller nie gebruik nie moet ingehandig word sodat die kaarte gekanselleer kan
word, of voordat „n ander plant bygevoeg kan word. Sodra die uitstaller se
veranderings afgehandel is ,geld die prosedure soos hierbo in (f) beskryf.
(h) Na sluiting van die skou moet alle plante weer uitgeboek word soos dit
ingeboek was.
Dit is van uiterste belang dat die regte kaart op die regte pot gesit word en daar bly
totdat dit uitgeboek is.
(i) “ Leafminer”. Geen plant sal in die skousaal en verkoops-area toegelaat word
indien daar spore van Leafminers is nie. „n Komitee is op die been gebring wat
skouplante sowel as verkoopsplante sal ondersoek vir spore van leafminer. Plante
wat met leafminer besmet is sal terstond verwyder word van perseel deur eienaar
van plant.
