I will be going just do not know which day.

Like to bump into you guys to chew the cud, it is a shame to not extend the forum from the keyboard.

I'm still looking for the programme that they are putting on. If it's available online does anyone have a link, please?

I'd like to go, but can't squeeze it in this year. The art and framing section does seem to get smaller every year. Took me about 1.5 hours to get round last year. Good to talk to suppliers face to face with all their products to hand though.

I usually pick up a customer or two, so well worth it for me, might even stand next year.

I've got to go, I've got an unbroken run to maintain - I've been at every one since it opened. Force of work to start with, then I got to enjoy it. Sad, or what?

Last year I said "never again" but I drove and was tired by the time I got there and was then looking at my watch thinking "I best be off soon ...."
If I do go I'll treat myself to a First Class ticket from Euston and do it in style :clap:

If you wander over to the prints area, you might even get a glass of wine if you look interested.

Will be going on the 2nd. We used to take 2 days to see all we needed, now we only need 1.
We might drop the Autumn fair though?
I dont know if it worth going down for anymore. Have been going down to them both for over 20 years.
Don't know whether its a age thing but its not like it used to be...

Good idea - saves carrying all the catalogues and freebies in a bag.
