Our area and national demonstrators are at the heart of our club activities. The training they receive is very thorough and we follow up with refresher days every three years to keep them at the peak of their game. Carolyn Vanstone looks after our demonstrators and can help you if you have any queries.

    Location - BH22

    Notes

    Happy to demonstrate at any time of the year and prepared to travel to most areas of the UK, Ireland, Channel Islands and further afield.

    Willing to do Open Demonstrations at Christmas (Christmas 2025 is fully booked) and at any other time of the year.

    In 2026, I am only available for the Christmas season (November & December)

    My mileage is charged at the NAFAS rate of 45p per mile, unless the requirements necessitate a hire van for more than one day and this rate isn’t sufficient to cover the hire cost and fuel cost combined. In this instance the travel will be charged at the van hire cost plus the fuel cost for the return journey.
