Dear Beekeeper
It's now just a week until our first Wragby Open and Sale Day to be held at our new premises at Rand.
Saturday 20th November. Bargains available from 10.00am.
The full address is Beehive Business Park, Rand, Nr Wragby, Market Rasen, LN8 5NJ. It is about two miles west of Wragby - follow signs for Rand off the A158. If you came to the Wragby Open Day last year, you will know that parking was a problem; we even had the local constabulary turn up to ask some customers to move their vehicles! That won't be the case at Rand; we literally have acres of space to park.
As I write, many of our staff are emptying our Wragby shop and shelf filling at our new shop in Rand. So from Monday (22nd November), the new shop will be open. A small gift and a photographer are ready to greet our first customer.
The sewing department were the trail blazers up to Rand a couple of weeks ago, the engineers department are hot on their heels and the wax plant and wiring department will be next. Courtesy of BT, it will then be the office and, dependant on the Electricity Board, the woodworking department will be last.
We're all very excited about the move - at the risk of a groan; there is a real buzz from everyone involved.
Our restaurant will be operating all day next Saturday. No strawberries this year of course. We think soup and baked potatoes will be more appropriate. Coffee, tea and biscuits will be free but we'll have a bucket for donations to Bees for Development.
Our top class speakers will include Graham Royle, Simon Croson, David Kemp and Bob Mould with some colleagues from FERA. They will be scattered over the main building including one of them in the boardroom with the chandeliers. Most visitors tell us they're sure to get lost because it's so big so we'll provide everyone with a map.
Bob and Elaine from Bees for Development will be here as well as Pam from Bee Craft. Also Amy will be asking you to help her with her dissertation and fill in a questionnaire.
As always, we'll have a Beginners area. Here, local beekeepers will be on hand to give advice to would be beekeepers on the items you need to start beekeeping. Expert beekeepers with sharp elbows are not welcome here!
