Th**ns Sale

'Bout a month, yes. If on their customer e-mail list, you will receive the initial list of items and prices. That list will only be the starting point. As items are sold out, the list will shrink accordingly.

Mons Ab - does that mean this this year you'll be having to leave the event before you arrive?

Haha! Quite possibly as I think the distance will put me off, so in my mind at least I have already left. Think I'll save my kneepads and shinguards for Thornes.

I thought all beekeepers were a friendly bunch ??

Remember the sale prices are usually VAT inclusive, whereas the Th*rne website/catalogue shows VAT exclusive prices.

That may mean that some items are cheaper than the last winter sale (I thought the 14 x 12 frames were the same price in the winter sale, when VAT was 17.5%, as here)?

Per e-mail: 'The winter online sale will begin in the second half of November'.

Presumably shortly after they have cleaned up after the one-day sale and Open Day at Rand on November 12.

which other members of the forum are planning on going?

I am certainly going to now - was booked to be here for assoc honey show which has now been cancelled so will make most of free morning before heading up home.
