Potteries GPR Xmas fair Saturday 12 November 2022

My train leaves at 7.27 and arrives in kidsgrove at 9.12.I've just checked,I thought it was later for some reason lol.I guess we're on the same train as you becci 🙂 xx
Oh cool, will see you both at the station then! :D You’ll be leaving blooming early if you’ve to get the bus too! xx

Yep,there used to be a bus at 6.14 so I guess there still must be one around the same time.I'm gonna be shattered but it'll be worth it lol xx
 
You need to - its delish! Especially on fresh out of the oven sultana scones.😋
Thank you! I'll do my best to make loads for 'sale' - watch this space!

If by any chance anyone who bought some jam at the Brum meet has already finished it and is going to be at the Fair, could they possibly bring me the empty jar? I'm running out of jars and would rather not have to buy new ones for next year's jam season :D
 
Forgot to add I'm used to a very early start every time I've been to the Salisbury meet so I'll survive ha ha xx
Haha yeah sure you’re used to it with all your travels! You’ll be having to give me a piggy back on the way back if I hopefully go :)) Or at least poke me when I start dozing off! :)) xx

Not sure I’ll have finished it by then but I’ll give it a go! :)

I’m sure I can round up a few more empty jars for you x
 
I'm hoping to go to this,but i will be driving as i find trains stressful.just hope there is parking.Will see on the day.
There is a small car park attached to the church hall, but plenty of on street parking. And sometimes the Scouts allow us to use their car park which is opposite.
 
So I won't be there. Forgot Jessica has a birthday party to go to in the afternoon and can't palm it off on the hubby as he's going out for drinks on the Friday night so won't be well on Saturday 😂 (can't complain as can't remember the last time he went out for drinks, probably last year!)
 
p.s. would rather be there that at a toddler birthday party, pray for me 😂
Toddler parties are fun. Someone always throws a paddy, then there's the food that gets trodden on, stains on new clothes, food in hair, wet pants because they are having so much fun they forget to say "Mummy, wee wee" ...... what's not to like?
 
I would really love to come to this event and meet up with forum members. I have only been to one meet before and that was about 10 years ago, so not sure I will know anyone.
Getting away isn't straight forward tho for several reasons but so long as I'm not having to syringe feed anyone I will try my best to come. I will most likely drive.

It would be lovely to see you if you are able to get away. I did meet you at Birmingham many years ago and you’ll be able to spot me as I’m having a stall. I’ll also have a couple of woolly pigs on my stall (not for sale!). I think you may also have met @karonus who will be dressed as Santa Paws with his caravanning Cavies !

I think most members coming will have met me once and I’m happy to do introductions. There will usually be a table near the kitchen where the forum members are found eating cake and showing off their haul from the stalls!

I’m wondering if it would be helpful if Forum Members wore some kind of badge to identify themselves?
 
I will be coming up with @Qualcast&Flymo , who has kindly offered me a lift.

I'll try to bake a few popular biscuits this week (need to see how it goes around cage cleaning) but even just travelling that far and being around lots of people is going to be quite a stretch for me. Definitely not up to running a stall! I expect to spend Sunday mostly back in bed again...

Anyway, I will also bring Boncath with me to hopefully make a bereaved 'uncle boar' very happy again. He is going to be 8 weeks by then and will be 350g by the weekend (he was just below 200g upon arrival a month ago). He's still on the smaller side but he has been developing very well.

Wait, there's cake?!

Actually I typed the above and then @Wiebke replied and, mmm, biscuits. I'm really looking forward to it, anxiety keeps trying to get in the way and it is failing miserably, lol.
 
We are aiming to get there early (Myself, the OH and Koda of course...) so hopefully if we hang around we will get to meet some people who we haven't been able to meet up with yet

For those of you that I haven't met - I'm the one with the black and white Husky dog by my side 😁 - if that counts as a form of identification? 😂

Of course it is.

I take two forms of identification with me everywhere I go - the accent, and the snarky t-shirt. And probably a snarky hoodie too, lol. I'll have to fish out family friendly ones now that I think about it.

Oh how lovely to hear you’re coming @Wiebke - just come and enjoy the event - no need to make or bring anything but yourself. It will be wonderful to see you again after so long x
 
@Qualcast&Flymo I've rounded up a few jam jars for you (including your original one now emptied of its delicious contents).
@Merab's Slave I’ve popped your woolly pig into one of my boxes for the fair (along with 2 of mine - I’m hoping they’ve all been sexed correctly and I don’t open up the box to find mini woolly pigs on Friday night!).

Thank you!

I'm intending to bring a couple of boxes of apples from my garden for anyone who would like some, and hoping to make some apple flapjacks to bring as well.

I’m very much hoping the black and white husky dog will be by myself a lot too! :D:love::))

What time are we setting up on Friday?

I'm looking forward to seeing baby Boncath, the Cornish babies all look so cute! I haven't seen baby piggies since I adopted Squeaks nearly 6 years ago ...

I hope Boncath and his prospective uncle boar get on well 🙏 🤞
