I will be there as it's just up the road from me, I went last year and although not the largest venue I found it very good. I enjoyed the demo's and picked up a couple of bit's and pieces so well worth it for me.

Hmmm, I could do with a couple of bits and pieces too, might have to drop in again. Went last year and was quite small and the demo's hard to see, but fun though and not so far away.

Cheers, Paul

Just got back and as usual spent too much money, managed to watch a couple of demo's and picked up a slab of spalted beech, a few smaller bits and bobs and a couple of Simon Hope Handles which I find superb quality. A big thanks to the organisers of today and as I said previously it's not the biggest venue but I find it one of the better events and enjoy it each year.

Regards

Mark Baker's platter demo was interesting, sat and watched that for a while, and Les Thorne is always entertaining.

Picked up a Simon Hope sanding arbour and pads, and some Chestnut finish sprays and managed to resist anything else but it was an effort !

Shame Phil Irons and Axminster didn't make it, and as Steve says it is quite small, but well worth going to if you aren't too far away, maybe even if you are, to pick up supplies and see some top notch demonstrators.

Cheers, Paul
