Staging

The Staging Committee creates the show floor plan to be approved by the GCV Flower Shows Chairman and the GCV Daffodil, Lily or Rose Chairman.  The Staging Committee participates in a site visit with the GCV Flower Shows Chairman and the GCV Daffodil, Lily or Rose Chairman to discuss space requirements for each aspect of the show.   The committee works closely with the Schedule and Properties Committees.

Guidelines

  1. Create and submit floor plan for approval by the GCV Flower Shows Chairman.
  2. When hosting a GCV show, space is needed for the following (some spaces may be used for multiple purposes):
    • Horticulture Exhibits
      • Daffodil - 24 risers 2' deep x 10' long
    • Artistic Exhibits (Inter Club and Individual Classes)
    • Daffodil, Lily or Rose Chairman’s exhibits for educational purposes 
    • Awards Ceremony and Awards Table 
    • Horticulture Winner’s Table 
    • Horticulture Work Space 
    • Artistic Work Space
    • Hospitality for Horticulture and Artistic Judges on day of show (and for Artistic Judges the afternoon prior to the Judging)
    • Separate meeting space for Artistic and Horticulture Judges for pre-show instructions.  
    • Separate spaces for instructions for Horticulture and Artistic Clerks and Runners
    • Work areas for Tabulation and Award Card Writers during judging
  3. Artistic Classes:
    • Plan areas so that each class is displayed as a unit. It makes judging much easier and less confusing.
    • Miniature arrangements are to be staged at eye level.
    • Aisles should be wide if possible to keep Judges from backing into each other or other arrangements.
  4. Horticulture Classes:
    • A Complete Awards List from the prior GCV Flower Show (Rose, Lily, Daffodil) is helpful to determine approximately how much space is needed for each class. It will vary some, but it will give the club an idea of where to start allotting space. This is available on the GCV web site under Flower Shows Archives.
    • Exhibit tables are to be covered and skirted.
  5. Prior to the properties being returned to storage, the Staging Committee should make note of any painting or repair work needed for the next years’ show.
