Brighton Show

Just to let you know that I will be away from tomorrow until 6th March. I have my laptop so email if you have any queries etc. I won't be able to change the website or issue receipts though.

2-3 weeks before the show I will be sending out directions and all other bumpf in the mail to vendors.

Everything is taking shape (!!) adverts have been placed in all magazines, including WI for East Sussex and a local free magazine which covers most of Brighton and the Brighton Evening Argus is going to do an interview with me prior to the show and come on Sunday and take pictures and speak to some of you and will do a follow up story. The journalist covering this is also freelance and is hoping to write a separate article on reborning as a whole, I am assured a positive angle will be written, she is interested a lot in the business side of things rather than the personal. If you don't want to speak to her on the Sunday you don't have to.

I have also contacted the local tv news programmes on BBC and ITV but as yet have had no response but my experience in the past is that they leave it until the last minute, so fingers crossed one of them will feature us on Friday night, they did for my porcelain show in 2007 and we got a huge turnout for the Sunday sales room, it would be a great boost for the show. Once again don't forget to place the info for the show on your websites and ebay auctions and anywhere else you can think of

I will ask the Racecourse to pencil me in for another show in 2011, probably 16th April, if I can get that date, which is a week later than 1st and 2nd shows and anyone who rebooks at the show will get their tables for £50.00 or if you book before 30th June £60, after that they will be £68. I will also be taking 50% non refundable deposits for 2011 to make things a little easier for you. I have moved the prospective date a week later in order to make a bigger time gap between the Brighton show and other prospective shows in the area.

Take care everyone and see you soon
