BANTA Awards & Party Night!
To be held at The Majestic Hotel on Sunday 25th March 2012
The 2012 Nursery Fair Awards & Party Night will again be held at the Majestic Hotel.
The evening will consist of a 3-course dinner, and include the presentation of the BPA award winners for the BANTA'S during the evening. Our host for the evening entertainment will be the superb Allan Stewart of Royal Variety Performance acclaim.
Following this will be dancing to a brilliant live band 'The Sway Allstars Orchestra' - a star-studded group which met whilst working for top acts such as Robbie Williams, Enrique Iglesias, Kylie Minogue and Ronan Keating.
The band first shot to fame when they joined to play for Tony Blair's Cabinet at a private party in Westminster and quickly went onto become the 'pet' band of Sir Richard Branson, playing at his house and at almost every Virgin Atlantic flight launch party for the last 10 years.
The Sway is a thoroughly enjoyable and truly amazing group of vocals and certainly knows how to engage with its audience promising a full evening of dancing and entertainment. They play rock, pop, soul, disco, funk, Klezmer, Motown, RnB and have been known to play for five hours without a break - so make sure you have your dancing shoes on!
Apply early for tickets as tickets have all been sold before the start of the Fair for the last few years.
The evening reception will start at 8.00pm and sitting down for dinner at 8.30pm.

BPA industry awards open for entry
These prestigious industry awards are open to all exhibitors at Harrogate Nursery Fair and give recognition to some of the best and most innovative baby products on the market.
This year there is a change in categories and the BPA believes that this will encompass a wider and more varied range of products than in previous years. These include Child Restraints; Wheeled Goods; Playtime; Sleep Accessories; Travel Accessories; In Home; Safety; and Feeding, Cleaning and Changing. In addition, a minimal entry fee of £75 plus VAT has been introduced to cover administration costs.
Robert Anslow, BPA managing director explains: "Last year the number of entries to the BANTAs was absolutely overwhelming with many companies submitting numerous entries. This made the judging process extremely costly and time consuming, so by introducing a small administrative fee, we hope that exhibitors will be more selective with their entries, submitting only the best and most innovative products from their ranges."
Closing date for entries is 28th February 2012 and we apologise that no late entries will be accepted. Shortlisted products will be advised prior to Harrogate Nursery Fair and exhibitors will be required to deliver these items to the Organiser's Office by 6pm on Saturday 24th March 2012 ready for final judging.
Entry forms can be downloaded here or call Julie James on 0845 456 9570 or email: Julie@b-p-a.org for more information.
