9. Due to the high cost of insurance and the very complex conditions demanded by Insurance Companies, we will not be providing Insurance cover for our exhibition. Instead we are following the guidelines as outlined by the Victorian Quilters Inc in suggesting that exhibitors investigate having quilts and other craft entries listed in "Outside of Home" Insurance clauses outlined in General Household Contents policies.
10. Quilts may be collected from the Hall between 6.00pm and 7.00pm on Saturday 13 March 2010.
11. Exhibitors may sell quilts through the Exhibition. The organizers will not be responsible for the handling of quilt sales but instead will collect details from prospective purchasers and pass these on to the quilt owner for the finalization of any transactions. Although we will be facilitating but not handling the sale of quilts, a small donation would be appreciated.
