Exhibition set up!!

Well despite several key members being very ill today we finally managed to get it all together.......

So get well wishes to Mark & Linda!

Hope you both make a speedy recovery!

Photos will be posted tomorrow - everyone was too exhausted to go round and take pics at the end of the day

The Exhibition Room was set up by the valiant efforts of Peta-Jane and our new member Karen
The Sale Room was organised by Anne-Marie, Sue and Lynn
So both teams managed to create some stunning displays out of absolute chaos.

Many thanks to Chris for all his efforts carrying things back and forth and of course our thanks to all who helped in their many ways!

Our thanks to all guest exhibitors for turning up - all packed with their lists and getting everything into the right rooms - such a well behaved bunch who followed instructions to the letter - makes life so much easier

Jim Nind has set up his interactive display in the grounds behind the Orangery

This has a stunning backdrop of the high school grounds and the river valley

So do go and look at it - interact and have fun - that's the idea - All we need is good weather so you can go out and enjoy it!

So now all we can do is hope the exhibition is well attended and that people enjoy it all - and of course buy some goodies to take home as gifts or friends and family

Remember if you do not see quite what you want .......

 you can commission a piece

just ask- we will be delighted to help

Please do say 'hello' to the stewards - they are the crafters and all are able to chat about not only their own work but everyone's else as well

We look forward to seeing you over the weekend!

This Friday we will be busy setting everything up and meeting and greeting all our new and regular guest exhibitors - so all is ready for the Saturday Opening at 10am

Last years Exhibition Room 

Apart from the Exhibition Room we will have a sales area in the Orangery

This year we are doing something new! 

The items for sale will be set out as 'themes' - so we will have dedicated areas as gifts for children, ladies, men, jewellery, accessories, fashion, house and home, a special Christmas area with all things festive! 

A bit like a department store so all like things are together 

We hope this will make things easier for people to select things to purchase

You are (weather permitting) able to walk around the gardens when you visit the exhibition - so with teas and coffee and cakes available it makes for a lovely relaxing day out!

In the past we have noted that people tend to walk about to do a first viewing then have a coffee and cake then go around again and then purchase.
Many come both days - think its the cake!
But for best selection come early as everything we make are one off's and thus truly unique - so once they are gone they are not repeated!
Regulars make a point of coming first thing Saturday for the best selection - some come up from London!

Exhibition items are for sale - unless marked otherwise
If you wish to purchase an exhibition item we mark it as 'sold', but where possible we like the items to stay on exhibition, to be collected on Sunday at 4pm.
