Rand Sale Day - Thornes

[WoodenBeam]

Great day out today, a return to normality………….fingers crossed.

Day consisted of a lovely bacon bap prior to the opening of the sales area - a good number of bargains & dare i suggest happy beekeepers. Then on to loading up pre-orders followed by a factory tour. Massive ham, egg & chip lunch, a final look around and then journey home.

A big thank you to all the staff for a great day
For those who haven’t attended in the past, would suggest a visit in future years if the opportunity arises

Also had a wonderful day, tried to sell a 5am start to the missis as “a day out” but she was having no of it.
Picked up my pre order well organised. Then into the queue for thirds. First time at a sale day, was surprised at the quality of thirds. Nothing unrepairable, odd knot fallen out. Bargain at £5 a super. £7 a brood.
Been building boxes all day, sorted for next year.
But probably not

Dang... I had a free pass to do what I wanted for today as well, if I'd been paying attention I could have got away with a trip there.

A trip to Lincolnshire would make thirds a little expensive Will . Better to pop up to Sandown Park in a couple of weeks and pick up some seconds

Just remember it's pre booked entry only this year - you can't just turn up and pay at the door

Any of you guys going? I am considering a trip if I can get permission.

I'm booked in for all three days.

Looks like I'll only get part of Thursday solo or Friday with the girls... How child friendly is it?
