Whereas the Bylaws of the WGA state that our mission includes, as one of four purposes, "Provide an opportunity for geocachers in the State of Wisconsin to gather and socialize with one another."

Whereas, commercial interests may desire to make their products available to members of the WGA at our events;

Whereas, some member of the WGA may like to purchase geocaching related commercial products while at our events;

Whereas, our mission is primarily to provide a place for geocachers to socialize with one another, and unfettered and uncontrolled selling of commercial products within the shelter can potentially compromise the purpose of our event by being over populated with commercial interests, and some members may feel that commercial activity makes it more difficult to socialize;

The WGA from this date forward establishes these rules for the selling of commercial products at our events:

1. Vendors must get prior permission from the WGA of at least 7 days prior to the event in order to be allowed to sell commercial products at any WGA event.

2. Vendors must provide to the WGA Secretary the following information in writing prior to being approved to conducting any commercial activity: Name of individual, name of company (if any), mailing address, phone number, email address, and description of products that are intended for commercial activity.

3. Vendors must may a fee of $25 to the WGA for the privilege of setting up their commercial activity at our event.

4. Vendors must provide their own table, booth or shelter to the extent that they see fit. The WGA is not responsible for providing any equipment to vendors.

5. Vendors must be located no closer than 50 feet from any WGA rented shelter, table or official part of the WGA event.
