Just another thought if anyone wants to join me up at any craft shows i drive up there, so i am willing to take passengers and share the cost of petrol.

Couple of the venues (ie Exeter & Birmingham) i do stay in a hotel near by and can ask the hotel i am staying at if they have any other places.

Please either mail me on the club e mail address or PM me on here.

Cheers

Hi all

Just come back from the Exeter craft fayre and thought i would say how it was.......................um no offence but i have been to better (perhaps i was spoilt for Birmingham )

I did get some bits & pieces though & i am glad i went.

My next craft fayre is next weekend in Stevenage, will let you know afterwards how that one went.

Chat soon

Farnborough craft show was good, went there on Saturday & when meeting up with other fellow crafters from different forums they said that it was smaller than normal but being my first time i didn't notice any different!!!

Also went to the one in Cheltenham the week before last - that was a last min decision and again it was good but very crammed in and not much room in between the stalls .

Next one for me is.................well should be in London in April but i may do the NEC in March but that wll be a last min decision as it is the weekend as i am flying back from my hol.

Will let you know how i get on.

Hi every one I whet to the Brighton one this year it was great got a nice lot of goodies

[Christine]

Never got to the Brighton one (weather put me off with that snow!!)

However i can't believe what shows i have been to this year - Exeter, Stevenage, Cheltenham & more recenly Farnbrough which i thought was great.

My next one isn't until April and that is in London and of course we have Newbury - please let me know if anyone wants to meet up on that day &/or come with us as i am in the middle of arranging a mini bus to take us up there - watch this space as they say.

I was tempted with Birmingham but ...............well i fly in from my hol on the Sat night @ 9pm at Gatwick, now the prob i have got is do i drive 2 hours home that night or 2 hours nearer to Birmingham for an overnight stop go to the fayre on the Sunday and then drive home afterwards.................Again watch this space!!
