It is with great
pleasure that we write to inform you of the annual Caribbean Gift and
Craft Show (CGCS) which will be held from October 2-5, 2008 at the Sherbourne Conference Centre in Barbados, under the theme "Celebrating Handmade
Design and Caribbean Traditions."
CGCS 2008 represents a significant
milestone as we will be celebrating fifteen (15) years of showcasing
our region's creativity and ingenuity.
To mark this special event we have
re-branded and refreshed several elements of the show including the
