Les1952 Posted March 29, 2023 Author Share Posted March 29, 2023 Our card reader is having problems reaching the Welfare's wi-fi from the entrance. As a result, although we can still take card payments you'll get in a lot faster if you pay with cash rather than having to wait for the machine to contact the living..... Les A fiver to get in (remember those things called banknotes). Accompanied children free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No parking restrictions apart from finding a place. There are three car parks in the precinct just down the street, two accessible from Ringleas (which is your approach towards the Welfare) and the other round the back behind the police station. But wherever you find to park, make a note of landmarks on your way to the Welfare. Tony Wright spent some time after the show today driving round Cotgrave with a punter who had lost his car before coming back for assistance. We found it eventually........

Les1952 Posted April 4, 2023 Author Share Posted April 4, 2023 Show was an overall success, with our best ever attendance (though still below our target of 1000). We also put a healthy amount into club funds. Next year is the first weekend in April again, Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th April 2024. See you there.

It was mentioned at the start as "Another that isn't on the list" and by the time I got the final list I was in panic mode over getting the programs ready- even they were wrong as we had a cancellation with a week to go, and another drop out due to heart attack that we only found out about when setting up on the Friday. The layout was "Shagbats". Les 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
