First clue in GCA 'guess the venue' comp
The GCA has revealed the first clue in its competition to guess the venue for the organisation’s next annual conference in January...
 
The conference has been held at the Crowne Plaza Heythrop Park for the past three years but the 2014 event will be at a new location.
 
Iain Wylie, interim Chief Executive of the GCA, explained: “We announced our competition in May and have already received lots of guesses. We thought we’d give people a helping hand by releasing the first clue.
 
“The clue is: dive in and you’re half way there.
 
“Both full and associate members are eligible to enter the competition, so please get guessing! To submit your guesses, please email info@gca.org.uk.
 
The first 12 people to correctly guess the venue will receive a bottle of champagne in their room at the conference.
 
More than 300 delegates from the nation’s leading garden centres, including independents and chains, are expected to attend the annual GCA Conference.
 
Iain added: “As always our conference will provide delegates with pertinent information on key aspects of the garden centre industry to assist members in achieving their business goals.
 
“The information shared will focus on a wide range of topics, including merchandising, marketing and management.
 
Here's a visual clue to help people guess the venueof the conference, which will take place from January 26 until 29, 2014.
