i'm not sure about this one. google gives it as 1hr 35min, which means about 2 hours but it's a complex journey, up to manchester and round then across.

the jury's out for a bit i think

[souffle]

Its our own show Bunsey It is about 10 miles from Mapplewell.

[Bunsey]

i went the other way to mapplewell, across to derby and then up the M1, which was easier, but it took 2.5 hours and i wouldn't do it again! i've never gone the via manchester way cos it always looked too scary!

[Yaffle]

I'll be there, footy match or not, Neil is definately taking me to this show!

[Gust0o]

About an hour away - put me down as a 'maybe', as I've no idea what I'm doing that month

[Holly]

We are definites - it's my boys' favourite show (because of the park across the road :P ).

[Spuds Mum]

well I haven't broached the subject with dearly beloved, but I am sure we will be there.

[littlemissdwarfhamster]

Just got my show schedule and it says Sue is show sec not sheryl - which is right?

I will have gained two leu days by working easter bank holidays so i am hoping to use one of those to get the day off for the show Fingers crossed.

[Spuds Mum]

Hi LMDH, nice to see you here, hope you are well.

You are more observant than me! I hadn't noticed that at all. I usually just go from the Northern website, which says Sheryl, but I guess we need to know for definite to sort out our entries etc.
can you enlighten us Souff, as its your show?
