Showmen’s Guild: proposed changes to rules

HTML

Details

The Showmen’s Guild of Great Britain is the largest association of travelling showmen in the UK. The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has concerns that some of its rules may be unfair and limit competition at existing Guild fairs and between existing Guild fairs and rival fairs, ultimately harming fairgoers. In response to those concerns, the Guild is proposing to make changes to its rules.

This short summary covers the rules the Guild proposes to change, and how these changes might affect working showmen and fairgoers. You can read about these changes in more detail in the full consultation document.
