Thanks Mandy. :)

One of the Deno supporters is organising a big gymkana day in June, but it's a 4-5 hour drive from us, and I've got so much on in June and then holiday at the start of July, I don't think I'm going to make it :(

Could kick myself for not being better organised :(

Will speak to a few peeps up this way that do gymkanas etc and see what's what.

I know come crimbo, I will be busy with school fayres etc etc, but that's a long way off yet

Oh, and I've just realised there are a few gala day type events coming up, will see if I can get a place there, or go see what type of things sell :D

Thanks for kick starting my brain for me :lol:

No probs we'll be watching this space. :D
Something i should of said is that each time you do an event you pick up lots of ideas and i feel that the next show we do is always improved in some way as a result, we usually come away with new stock ideas too, I think the more exposure you get the better for web orders too.

I met a man at the show who told me he was very pleased to receive one of our shirts whilst he was away serving in Afghanistan, apparently his pride and joy along with his flag!!
Rather chuffed I was too!!

Sounds very interesting.

Oh gawd, I don't need a show :o

Just been walking the dog, and got chatting to a fellow dog walker, as you do.

Anyway, just got a potential order for approx 300 mugs and tshirts :o :o

Time to get my head into gear, big time, :lol:

Hey thats a great order kaz, good for you,

We bought the marquee a couple of years ago goldrapt until then we were always in a craft marquee or similar. It's nice to have the choice whether we want to have a large pitch outdoors or a smaller one in a busy craft marquee.

I'm also lucky enough to have the use of my boyfriends long wheel base sprinter which has a sleeping area and comes in very handy. The amount of stock we now take along has increased dramatically.

I have an online shop and a high street shop and also work with my father in an export company plus i'm a grannie ( a "ya ya" actually in Spanish) so i'm quite busy. Actually when we do get into the busy periods it's difficult to fit it all in.
