[biskit]

Saw an advert for it in Craft Stamper so I thought I'd post the details. I used to live in Broughton Astley so would have loved to have gone and had a snoop!

[CarolB]

[Jill]

anybody know where the leisure centre is? I go down the A5 and turn left towards Hinkley - then I'm lost!!

[annieormerod]

Hi Jill where are you coming from, if you are coming from atherstone area you need to travel down the A5 towards hinckey passed aldi then straight over at the roundabout 2nd exit carry on straight towards hinckey town centre, you should pass a car garage on your left side which is called trinity motors, straight on pass a park on the right hand side then the leisure centre is on your left at these lights turn right and there is a car park there, hope this is ok for you Annie I will be there with Carol B. Hope to see you there.

[Jill]

Hi Annie I live in Kingsbury so will come down a5 from Atherstone Thanks for directions Do you go to the Nuneaton crop?

[DoubleDutch]

Ohh Gill, I'll be seeing you there then too!! lol

[Wisher]

can anyone tell me what time it starts pls

[Jill]

If you have pre booked its 10am if not its 10-30!

[Wisher]

i enjoyed that! it was a really small show but at least there was a fair amount of scrapping stuff and not too crowded. Prices were much cheaper than Ally Pally. Next one is 15th Feb

[lorna simons]

bought a few bits but was hoping for a bit more scrapping realy,it was good for it being a first show, took a friend along who is very new, in fact this was her first shopping trip, she did buy some bits but i think is very confused as to what she wants lol

[Jill]

Really enjoyed the show I was very tempted to buy a cuttlebug but resisted!!! but bought some cuttlebug cutters and embossing folders to use on the sizzix

[CarolB]

really enjoyed it, small but enough there, spent a little on 12 x 12 papers, stamps, shimmering pearls and more LOL :)

[annieormerod]

Hi Gill I did go to show today had agreat time with Carol bought lots of nice bits, I have been to nuneaton crop run by paperdolls on a wed evening but found it hard some months as work till 7.30, so had to give it a miss.B)

[craft fairy]

I was there demoing pens and I agree with the rest of you that it was a great show. My only grouse is that the roof leaked on us and we had to move the stand with minutes to spare before the show opened. To tell the truth, we were still moving things when it did open. So if you saw a harassed person in pink then it was me!

[Jill]

oh Yvonne Iloved your flowers and ribbons - in fact I spent far too much money on them!!!!!!
