Showcase Waiting List Now Closed The waiting list for Showcase 2000 is now closed due to the overwhelming demand for stands and the already lengthy waiting list. No more names will be taken for stands for Showcase 2000. If you are already on the waiting list then our Showcase Co-ordinator, Catherine Jordan, will contact you should a stand become available. For those craftspeople not on a waiting list but interested in exhibiting at Showcase it will be necessary to wait until February 2000 to apply for a stand for Showcase 2001.
