Sorry not to have met up with anyone, was there about 9.30, wandered up to the show area as they were setting up and then went back for a cappuccino in the NT restaurant.

A browse around the Isca shop wood store and another 1/2 hr. or so around the stalls and demonstrators after a few more folks arrived.
Not the best of venues for viewing, the main lighting being the NT sodium lights focused on the roof space to highlight the roof structure.
Then as we have wandered around the house and grounds several times before it was back via Bristol for a Loch Fyne lunch and a bit of Dockside browsing and none essential retail therapy.

Must be getting cynical in my old age as I'm afraid the event although having a few more participants did not have the pizazz my memory associated with the early Isca in Risca days or a day out at other events.

I don't know how we managed to miss you, Chas!!

I arrived about 09.00 and helped Paul Hannaby and Martin Lawrence of AWGB set up their stand just inside the main door. I was at that stand when EnErY arrived (at 09.15 or so) and we both stayed there until around 09.45 before looking round the stalls.
