Consignment Registration Information

Warm greetings to Friends who may be considering a consignment at the 2008 Gathering of Friends in Johnstown, PA. As in the past, all sales at the Gathering of Friends must go through the Gathering Store. You will receive 70% of your selling price; a 30% commission supports the Gathering of Friends as well as the FGC Bookstore.

If you decide to sell items in this year's Gathering Store, please fill out the Consignment Registration Form (below) and send it to me as soon as it is convenient, but at least by May 31, 2008. Email it to cont...@weavingarts.us or mail it to Mary Barnes, 686 Mill Creek Road, Millboro, VA 24460. Please note that we will ONLY ACCEPT PREARRANGED CONSIGNMENTS at the Gathering. If you have any inkling to participate, be sure to register now and cancel later.

As usual, space will be tight. We don’t know exactly what kind of space we’ll have, but we hope to be able to accommodate everyone and have an attractive, congenial atmosphere. We are asking you to estimate the portion of table space or freestanding floor space your inventory needs. We do not expect to be able to assign more than ½ a table to any one consigner. Space assignments will be proportional if we have more or less space. You will need to bring all fixtures other than tables for your display. We are not able to provide any shelves, table coverings, or other props.

I will notify you when I receive your Consignment Registration Form. If you do not hear from me, that means I did not receive your registration and you need to send it again. After May 31st I will send you a Consignment Inventory Form with detailed instructions and information on shipping goods to the Gathering store as well as checking in and checking out procedures.

With table space limited, you may display only items for sale (and small business cards or post cards describing the artist or craftsperson). Organizations that wish to distribute free flyers and brochures should make advance arrangements by May 31st to reserve space in the exhibit area. Reservation forms are on the Gathering website or call FGC.

Best wishes,

Mary Barnes, Consignments Coordinator
