Might be able to - I'll have to consult the oracle. Do we get freebies/cheapies, or is everything on
sale at full price?

Dunno, but I get overexcited about a huge hall full of tents you can climb in and out of. Did anyone
go last year? Is it worth travel costs plus £10 a ticket?

I know exactly what you mean. Sad, isn't it. I should imagine it's a good but expensive day out,
because you're likely to see lots of lovely ways to use up spare and not-so-spare cash. If we're not
doing anything else that weekend I shall try to persuade He Who Sits Opposite (HWSO) that we
*really* need a weekend away in Brum.

Brum can be expensive to stay in - cast a little further afield and there are loads of nice
B&B's near by.

79.84% of all statistics are made up on the spot. The other 42% are made up later on. In Warwick -
looking at flat fields and that includes the castle.

Lots of things, reductions, etc.

If you get excited about these kind of things, yes it is very well worth the cost :-)

Gives you an early feel for all of that excitement.

Bham at weekends is not always that expensive - lots of un-let business hotels. If anyone wants to
stay give me a shout and I'll see what I can find.

Yeh, but it's also the first weekend of the Easter holidays. Better to be out doing it than looking
at new stuff you can do it with.

I went last year, and took my parents. We all had a good time. There were some excellent lectures
(including Doug Scott, Chris Bonnington and Al Hinkes). The show has a wide variety of stands and as
Fran mentions plenty of ways to spend your money!

As confirmation it was good last year I have arranged to take my parents again this year.

Best wishes,

Damn, I had missed that. I think you're certainly right. Mind you I will no doubt be out and about
at Easter but not for the whole time.

No need - we've got friends in Telford :-)

Question is, can you afford to save so much money?

Probably not, but if I save it quickly perhaps he won't notice!
