Having spent half hour on the site and opening about a dozen PDF's I give up...... nearly. Can anyone tell me the daily opening times to this event please.
I was going to treat Mrs D to a Friday and Saturday away but cant find the times (Sat morning most interesting ;)) and now find that as she isnt a member she cant go on the Friday....... its about 140 mile each way so it may be plan 'B' now...........
thanks

Its on their web page, looking on the left of the page where it shows programme details, look for "Full programme". The link is: http://www.xxxx.org.uk/files/library/bbka_spring2012_1326816029.pdf

No worries. Just wish I could go, but 170 miles is too far on my budget. The £s are better put towards equipment. Besides, I'll probably get better value out of it next year when I know more about what I'm looking at.

:nopity:
 
My mate's supposed to have ordered tickets
If so I'll be there :D

Guess what my mate has ordered tickets but his vehicle has blown up .
So I'll go by car , not much room for equipment but I won't be buying a shed full . Not until I get there :smilielol5:, Happens every year :blush5:
