Oh I missed all the fun at the weekend - my Mum only phoned me late on Fri to say she could go to Belle's fair afterall so I could have sent the son as planned, but he had already made other arrangements - so Sorry to Belle for not making it - Belle will you pm me your address as I want to send you the stall fee anyway.

I am doing Castlewellan Agricultural- who else is going?

The playhouse in derry is hard enough to find, all I can remember is it is up a hill, but there is a lift for your stuff and the staff are really really helpful. It is also a really lovely venue inside, all clean bright and white!!!

Have some new shows to post on the list - all vvv expensive though so will do it later!

We were well looked after, well fed, and it was brilliant to go to a craft fair and be SO well looked after!!

Belle my hat is off to you!, You done so well!!


Glassact it was great to meet you and your friend!!

Nichola..........you forgot the toilet seat!! Shall bring it with me in August!!

Rach, glad you/hubby/son liked the cake!!

Emma, your daughter is a stunningly beautiful child, so tall and has a lovely mannerism!!
Oscar went down a treat last night!!

Minidriver, great to meet you!!

I have 2 fairs in july and im not going to book into any more until november!! So much to do and so little time!

We were very well looked after by Belle and well fed, the carrot cake was very tasty, the signs to the place were great too - thank you for that Belle. I am still getting my head around everyone's names on here and in real life!
Once again I agree with Mum of Four - that'd be Sinead?? that Emma's daughter is lovely and very polite too. Emma hoping your knitting injury recovers soon!!!
Was great to meet everyone, don't think that I spoke to Rachel though, maybe next time?
My voice is still not back and after all my moaning to those around me on Saturday I still feel rotten!
If anyone has no plans for this Saturday 3rd July I have some tables at my fundraiser for Childrens Hospices Uk/ Northern Ireland Children's Hospice. £10 a table at Old Town Hall, Banbridge. Starts at 10.30, ends at 2.30pm am hoping to increase the set up time to 9.30.
Please Pm me if you are interested. Thanks.

Sinead I am not doing any fairs this summer, so find out when Gingerose is and give it too her, as she is going to paint little frogs on it

Ginger_Rosie

:undecided Hey guys...just told Leanne that I can't make Belmont Tower this Saturday so my table is up for grabs if anyone wants it. Also, she said she had a few more free too if anyone wants to cancel their hols? Anyone? No?
