Beekeeping Show 25th

[jenkinsbrynmair]

Good point but I’ll be in the hotel bar the night before

I'm staying in Haughton Hall so hopefully not much naughtiness, I need my sleep these days

 

[Erichalfbee]

We have escaped far away in Little Wenlock.

Looks very nice…… I’ve been warned the travel lodge has rather sticky carpets

as long as the sheets aren't!

We are going tomorrow to the show. Looking forward to it. New venue and near to Solihull.

Sat down to dinner and was given a menu…was asked if I wanted a drink, I said what wine do you have…….. I was told white or red

 

[Ian123]

Ooops

 

[MillMeadow]

Oh come on who deleted my ulrika and swedes joke!!!!!!

wrong thread?

 

[Erichalfbee]

Watched Laurence do a tour round the show then went for dinner and a couple of pints. See you all tomorrow

Sounds a bit upmarket for me.

Wow those are cheap prices...

 

[Erichalfbee]

These are cheap! Murray made me up a 14x12. Waxed just over £2

 

[Erichalfbee]

Bought an Oz Armour suit
Stan looked daggers at me as I tried to buy an InstantVap so I thought I better not!

 

[Ian123]

So I thought the show was great….really good to see Murray and jolanta they had a crowd around the stand from the morning onwards!!
I think some of the other bee events need to look over their shoulders.
Bumped into the forum’s favourite Welshman, I new who he was purely on the basis he looks like my old headmaster…..well at least his shorter brother! Really good to see a lot of the foreign suppliers back! I saw the concrete joke hive and a few other contraptions.
I do think in future that the lecture/talks may need an extra room as the general noise as the place filled up probably took away a little from them. Although I did chuckle at the bloke extolling the virtues of local bees as he struggled……yes I’m a bad person
I tried to phone Dani but I think she was to busy beating off forum admirers

Noise drowned out the phone.
Admirers or assassins?

Murray said that he'd been harangued by a series of black bee evangelists throughout the morning!!

twenty seconds after we parted, she turned up at the very same spot!! I tried to see if I could see where you'd gone, but no luck.

Admiring assassins?

 

[Ian123]

I should add I picked up the apidea book!
I did walk past the Bibba stand a few times, id conservatively suggest they had one 10th of the traffic that Murray was achieving!

 

[Swarm]

We got there early, I was expecting more to be honest. My mate managed a nice deal with all the hive hardware he was after so he was happy about that.
