[DarynWebb]

Nope, I wouldn't know anyone there..

 

[VEG]

Are you a member of a local association? Even if your not its a great place to visit. Loads of bargains and lots of lectures.

 

[VEG]

I always end up talking to people I dont know.

 

[DarynWebb]

Not a member at the moment, I'm still very new to all this though, I should go to see If I can pick anything up cheap, I only know one beek in my area who will probably be there.

 

[VEG]

I can't make it this year but it's well worth going to for new and experienced beeks alike. Last year was really good - lots of interesting speakers and plenty of bargains to be had.

 

[DarynWebb]

Just got home from this great day I was the bemused guy with a fresh shaved head, some cheap bargins was well worth the trip

 

[VEG]

Got home with a few supers and other bits good prices too.

 

[aberreef]

I got there too late for T*rnes second frames offer. They sold out by 09:30

Came home with a 2 frame extractor, 40 SN4 frames, foundation, frame runners and a cheap smock for Mrs Aberreef.

I only went to one talk on Pollen which was pretty interesting but had a very plleasant morning

 

[MrB]

I didn't make it this year after all
