Belle don't worry I will hold you a table over. Not a problem. Have you heard from Sinead I know her dad is ill. Sent her a pm but not heard anything xx

SuperMum2008

Morning everyone! My my you've been a busy bunch the last 24 hours - its great to be getting so many dates at this time of year - its a first for us as normally we are autumn/christmas crafters, so its very exciting! (Lots of new stock - yippee - love shopping!!)

Lots to answer:

1. We are at Belmont on 6th March so not sure we will bother with Bangor Abbey Rach, like you it wasnt great for us, although the takings were "ok" it was a long long day and was poorly attended for a christmas fair. The lights and Bloomfields Santa arrival played against us, but we cant afford the risk again.
2. Belle - re the coffee shop, would be ok if its a Saturday evening, couldnt do during the week though. let me know when you are thinking of. OR could we chip together and hire a hall?
3. Urm...oh, Ive run out of questions to answer....sigh!

harleygirl_2

Belle def interested in your shop craft fair or as supermum says hiring a hall.
fi haven't been to the garden show, seems a bit expensive, I would need to see over 250 items to break even lol.

Book_Lady

Belle, I'm definately interested too wherever you decide to run it

Fi996, I didnt do the Garden Festival last year but I have it booked for this year & am keeping everything crossed that I dont end up out a small fortune but from what I have heard it attracts a good crowd
