Join the NRM tent at the Dowerin Field Days!
27th & 28th August 2014
Wheatbelt NRM will again be participating in the 2014 Dowerin GWN Field Days and have space available for potential stallholders.
As a valued subscriber of Wheatbelt NRM we would like to offer you a place in the NRM Supertent to promote your organisation, project or environmental work.
Wheatbelt NRM has covered the cost associated with site administration, marquee, program advertisement and attractions such as native animal displays. As such we are providing this opportunity to community groups and others at a significantly discounted price.
This year, the tent will be filled with lots of interactive displays, a wealth of information for the community and landholders as well as plenty for the kids! We are hoping that you will join us in making this year the most exciting yet!
We are offering the following:
- 3m x 3m booths - (1 spot left) for $330 ($180 for Wheatbelt NRM Organisational Members)
- 2m x 2m booths - (2 spots left) for $220 ($120 for Wheatbelt NRM Organisational Members)
Each booth includes:
- 1 x Trestle table
- 2 x Chairs
- 1 x Pin-up Board
Please confirm your booth with Di Robinson by Friday 8th of August on 9670 3107 or email drobinson@wheatbeltnrm.org.au
