Dear Beekeeper

Sale Days are here again!

After many weeks of hard work supplying orders over the beekeeping season, we are at last in a position to announce dates for our 2010 Open Day, Sales Days and Winter Sale.

The first one will be the Sale Day at our Windsor branch - Saturday 9th October.

Then the Sale Day at our Stockbridge branch - Saturday 23rd October

This will be followed by the Wragby Open Day on Saturday 20th November. It will be at our new premises at Rand - now renamed as the Beehive Business Park, Rand, Nr. Wragby, LN8 5NJ

Finally, our online mail order Winter Sale will start on Monday 29th November.

Keep an eye on our website and the beekeeping press for further details.

Just a note about our new premises. Thank you to so many of our customers for their good wishes on our exciting project to move our factory after almost 100 years on the same site. The builders are now knocking down internal walls to make the shop and despatch area and the dust extraction system will start to be installed in a couple of weeks. Then we will start to move, department by department, as quickly as practical. But, for the moment, we are still at Wragby.

Not got one yet!

Winter Sale will start on Monday 29th November

A month early! Presumably to allow all to take advantage of the reduced (or rather not yet increased VAT rate) and to help them with their move to new the premises.

Regards, RAB
 
Thornes winter Sale 29th November

i must be way down the list of clients as i only got my email today

29 November, for their winter sale , i assume its early due to the VAT changes coming in on the first Jan

i know some firms ran foul of the customs & excise on pre orders, maybe what caused them to bring the sale forward by one month

I will have to save up the pennies as no Xmas pressy fund

is there much discount to be had from the winter sales?

I will be in need of quite a lot of frames / foundation next year and was wondering whether this would be the place to source them?
