PLEASE HELP US HELP YOU!We are very aware that this is EXTREMELY last minute, but due to various delays our road posters will be ready for collection from Wednesday 7th at Mill Farm, Kemnay, AB51 5NY (entry #121). As much as we need to get the posters to you all in good time before the 10th, the simple fact is that we cannot. So, we call to you, our members for your help and fantastic support!
If you could try to club together & arrange somebody in your area to volunteer to collect enough signs for your area, that would be amazing!
Please contact info@northeastopenstudios.co.uk to arrange pick up, or if you need any further help we will try to advise as best as we can.
NEOS covers a huge area, so please don’t be greedy and think of others too. Previous participants should have their signs from last year, if for some reason you need new, we have allowed for up to 2 signs per venue.
- Aberdeenshire: New entries 3 signs
- Aberdeen City: ONLY 2 signs per VENUE.. Not entries
If that is impossible & you don’t have any Yellow Signs, fear not! You can download the template from the website at
www.northeastopenstudios.co.uk/downloads.asp, and simply print it off on yellow paper and laminate it!
SIGNAGE INSTRUCTIONS!
NEOS has worked very hard to build a good relationship with the Council’s Road Department to allow you to draw attention to your location by the use of our NEOS signage (the NEOS yellow signs). In order to ensure compliance with Aberdeen City & Aberdeenshire Council's rules on temporary signage for events please read below.
We have to point out that NEOS is not responsible for its members conduct and it is the individuals’ responsibility to adhere to the rules, as any action taken by the authorities for non compliance will be to individual venues and not NEOS.
A) Any signage on private property (in gardens, on houses, in cars) is permitted.
B) Signs on traffic signs, railings, and pedestrian crossings are NOT permitted. In fact, signs placed on any Road/Traffic Information furniture are considered a grave hazard and are illegal.
C) The Roads Department will advise their city and community inspectors not to remove NEOS signage if it is compliant with these instructions.
