no she never phoned, I just phoned her to check all was ok and was told fully booked. Just presumed all was ok for Feb - didnt realise I had to submit a form each time and as we were never phoned before (we had always phoned them) thought that was the way it worked. We got some new stock in specially too DOUBLE :(

Supermum, sorry to hear about Belmont - I too had assumed you were 'safe' each month by virtue of your unique stock! If it's any consolation, a few days before the last one there was a notice on the website saying had had some cancellations and last minute places - worth checking nearer the time? Can't believe The Argory are looking a deposit for Christmas 2010 already!!:eek:

has anyone done the argory before? is it worth the price of the table? its expensive?

Choco

Yes I have done Christmas Craft Fair for past 3 years. Its very well run as are all National Trust properties and the turn out is excellent regardless of the weather.

Hi all, just back from my fundraising meeting tables are approx 8 feet long, will get exact measurement for you all. We are def getting coverage in the Belfast Telegraph, trying to get sponsorship from some major companies in the area, so there will be plenty of advertisement. Craft fair from 1-6 and you can set up anytime from 11 am. I hope this helps, if you need any more info please let me know.

Yes, it is a busy one and well organised - but VERY COLD as you are normally in barns / sheds and while some have heaters many more don't!!
