Hi everyone

Silly question time here - do you think it will be worth driving for nearly 5hrs for the sale alone, are there going to lots of choice and items left? I don't mind the travel but I need to be sensible here - did Middleton and set off at 5am just to be in the que for 2.5hrs and not get what we wanted really.

I know it is a bit of a catch 22 situation and willing to take the gamble but it is going to be as mad as Middleton or a more sedate affair - actually really excited at the thought  :)

Hi Colineddie,

It does not sound as if we would be able to talk you out of the idea; even though I expect the sale will be more mad than Myddleton.

(Mavers, try a cold shower).

Wish I had got tickets to the talks buy hey ho - those that go have a fab time - you will see me clattering around the sales at 1.00pm lol - starting to recognise faces at outings now - might come out of my shell a bit and introduce myself one day  :) - See you all on Saturday if you are still hanging around

Thank you Emma - I am sure you will be so busy and everyone will want to speak to you, but If I see you I will say hi this time - I promise.
Would you recommend buying the tickets for the general sale from the online site or from the tourist info on the Sunday - any advise would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
