Hi - Its at the Business Design Centre in Islington (London) from 21 - 24 July. Its part of the Artists & Illustrators show. If anyone is up for a meet up that would be great. Apparently there are workshopd you can book and if you buy a certain no of tickets in advance, you get one free (not sure how many).

Ive just checked out the exhibitions at the NEC in B'ham.

Nov 10th - 13th there are two arts & crafts exhibitions....one in hall 12 and the other in hall 12, which are both open to the public.

Hobbycrafts and Christmas Crafts, both £7 entry if you pre book your entrance ticket.

Would anyone fancy coming along if we tried and organised this as a meet up??

Its a over the weekend so maybe for those travelling we could organise it as an overnight meet up somewhere???

Just think a whole weekend ....no men...no kids and all those lovely crafts to ooooooggle!!!

Its ages away but was the only exhibition I could find that was central to where most of us live.

What do you think???

Peachy, Are you up for a night away????

Going up to Bolton to meet up with AQ and whoever else wants to tag along at the end of May.
We are going to the Hobby Craft exhibition....workshops etc.

Leave Friday afternoon....stay over at a travel lodge, all day at the craft fair and then either ANOTHER night away and drive back Sunday morning....or if two nights away is not possible I dont mind the drive back on saturday night.

Just thought as I'll be passing your door I'd ask.

Anyone else fancy coming along....I'll be heading up the M5 from the south west....so I can stop off on route and collect anyone else who wants a weekend away!!! Can fit 7 in the car.

CAT me if your interested.

What's the date for that, jayzmummy? I might come though I would meet you there as I live by M1 jct 6 too far out of your way. I feel the need for a bread from my family

I will have to ask DH when I pick the right moment. Have also emailed my sister who loves crafts and asked if she is interested.

Oh JM - I was planning on going to that - I only live about 15 miles away from the Reebok! Have just realised that it is the same weekend that we are on holiday. Oh bum!
We've booked a last minute week away for dh's 30th and thought we'd picked a clear week but there's about 4 things that we have since realised we should have been doing that week - including dd's physio!
Have a brilliant time!

where abouts are you M&M...i'm about 10 minutes away from Reebok?

MandM · 28/04/2005 14:28

Just thought - it would only take you about 20 minutes to get from the Reebok to Dawn Bibby's shop. I can CAT you directions if you want?

I can't believe you'll be coming so near to where I live and I won't get chance to come and meet you
