The Royal Bath & West of England Society is proud to launch an exciting and innovative new website at this years Show – The Royal Bath & West Show Online.
www.bathandwest.com will be launched at the Society Reception on Wednesday 1st June 2005 and is designed to give you the opportunity to shop at the Royal Bath & Show all year round. The website is the first of its kind, allowing you to buy products from your favourite Bath & West trade stands from the comfort of your own home. You will be able to search the site by product or exhibitor, and browse the many diverse products available, from leather deck chairs to hot tubs, children’s ride-on tractor’s to local cider and chicken coops to stripy wellies! Exhibitors have their own ‘virtual stands’ where you can make enquiries, place orders or purchase products 365 days a year.
Chief Executive of the Royal Bath and West of England Society, Dr. Jane Guise, said;
“This unique new venture represents a move forward for the Society, enabling us to assist our exhibitors to gain access to new markets and new technologies, and our visitors to access our fantastic and diverse range of products that they can only normally buy at the Royal Bath & West Show. Royal Bath & West Show Online is an exciting project that fits well with our charitable aims of promoting agriculture and supporting the rural economy, and I shall certainly be shopping at www.bathandwest.com!”
The site has been part funded by Defra through the Rural Enterprise Scheme and has been built by Sitemakers Ltd, from Curry Rivel. Sitemakers Ltd is a Westcountry-based company providing internet consultancy, development and marketing from offices in both Somerset and Cornwall. The company helps clients to implement high quality internet solutions that work for their organisation.
Don’t forget to visit www.bathandwest.com when you get home from the Show if you can’t wait until next year to buy those items you forgot!
The first 50 people to log on will receive 2 FREE tickets to next year’s Royal Bath & West Show from 31st May to 3rd June 2006!
