I wont be bothering to go either.

I think you might be missing out there Margaret...The big Goerdie with the beard may take a shine to you.

They charge this small fee to make supportive income .. which is OK; have to get the revenue from somewhere in order to reduce the fees to the stall holders for exhibiting, otherwise, could be a no-go for most exhibitors, and total failure of this type of event. Just financial juggling.

I think for exhibitors in any show....that is the most sensible answer I have read. These events cost money to stage and promote...if people were queuing to go to the event they must have thought it was worth it?

I thought it was excellent and I ended up buying all sorts of things that you wouldn't normally see. Just enjoying a snifter of Sheep Dip whisky, along with a few slices of chilli cheese...but I'm saving the Huntsman's Pie until tomorrow!

Hey, I took a look at the queue at 11 o'clock and then again at noon, it was huge.
I am more than happy to pay my quid, just hope I can get in tomorrow !

Well I've just been down and it's very busy. Got to say, well done to Kerry and the entertainments team at Accrington - an excellent event.

I've just stuffed my face on the most delicious haggis and black pudding - rare treats but it just shows the difference when you buy quality products.

There were so many different delights, I could have stayed for hours sampling stuff but a certain someone needed to watch the grand prix.

If you're looking for something to do for the next couple of hours take a trip into town.

Picked up some tasty chutneys and had a few nips of the free Sheep Dip whiskey.
