Potteries GPR Xmas fair Saturday 12 November 2022
- Thread starter VickiA
- Start date
We will be there. Drop me a message if there is anything i can to do help. 
Just confirming on behalf of @The Potteries Guinea Pig Rescue that the annual animal rescue fair is going ahead on 12th November.
The rescue organises this event to promote and fundraise for rescues. And the event also serves as a forum meet up. Entry is free. The Church (who own the hall) run the kitchen and sell food and drinks at very reasonable prices. There are tables and chairs set up as a cafe area. The event is usually well attended by Forum members.
There are going to be a mix of animal rescue stalls, plus carefully selected crafts and retail stalls. I will also be having a stall for the first time to promote my therapies and to sell a few holistic themed gifts. I will be giving short taster treatments of Reflexology throughout the day on a first come first served basis.

So very tempted....
Just off to look at flights now...
And for those of you who aren't sure, this event (in 2018) was my very first Forum meet up.
I was quite nervous as I didn't know a single person there (irl), but honestly everyone was so kind and really friendly, so if you have any doubts seriously just go along.
It's a lot of fun.

Your accommodation is ready if you do decide to come over for a pre Christmas trip x

Only if you've got the spare room! I'd love a chance to go, though, so I won't say no. See how things are closer to the time?

Hope it’s a great success as always, a bit far for me!
I usually go on my own as Allan gets fed up of piggy talk after an hour. So there will be plenty of room in the car.

His loss then!

This looks great. I popped by last year but was too shy to introduce myself to anyone and didn't know anyone's face hopefully it will be third time lucky with me and forum meets.

It was lovely to meet you @Sweet Potato. It's a shame we didn't have time for a decent chinwag before you left but there's always another time.
Oh it will be lovely to see you there - it’s such a lovely event.

It’s true that I will indeed have some lovely items for sale on my stall at very reasonable prices. After the event I’ll pop details of what I have left on another thread in case anytime would like me to post any out to them.
