Richard Scott Posted January 22 Author Share Posted January 22 Well we are just a few days away from the show, unfortunately we are disappointed to announce G M Books will not be able to make this years show due to an operation last week, we wish George a speedy recovery and look forward to seeing him at next years show. Replacing George will be Ron's Totems, this is a first time visit to Pontefract and we wish him well and thank you for stepping in at nearly the last minute. Also a note to all exhibitors and traders, the college has an inset day on Friday 26th, this means we have access to the hall sooner than originally anticipated which means setting up times can be brought forward to 3:30pm to hopefully 8:30pm, resulting in getting to the pub sooner than later, sorry I mean bed for a busy weekend. Looking forward to seeing everyone there and hopefully we will get to meet a good few RM webbers at the show. Thanks, Richard. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

doilum Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Parking is what it is. The best place is in the park with over 200 spaces once the early morning park run is done. Please be aware that the “ Aspire” parking next to the new sports centre/ baths might not be free. If you follow the road inside the park using the “grandstand” signs there are an additional 100+ spaces by the Huggamug cafe. This is not more than 300 metres from the college entrance.
