Just heard from my OH at the show. It sounds as if there has been a great turnout.  Lots to see and do, everything appears to be going to plan.   WELL DONE ROSEMARY AND HER ELVES  :trophy: :thumbsup:
 
Now we just have to wait for next year at Lanark and I hope to be there then  :fc:

Aha - so he was there - we did keep an eye-out for him, but must have missed him in all the excitement  :excited:  Brilliant day, huge attendance - Dan had to print batches of extra tickets (twice I believe).  Lots of happy, smiley folks  :thumbsup:

A big thank you must go to all the "redcoats" who made the day run so smoothly!

FANTASTIC! What a great first show in Scotland. I look forward to next years show and hope to get a bit more involved. I might even bring some of my Hebridean Sheep!

I do hope you DO bring some Hebs - we had a fantastic display from the Hebridean Woolhouse. It would have been great to have the sheep there too  :sheep: :sheep: :sheep:

I enjoyed it - but I would have loved to meet TASers... Could we please have a small stall or something next year as a meeting place for those of us who don't already know everybody else? I think I identified Rosemary and Dan at some point, but I would have had to queue up to speak to them - thought they had enough on their plate to deal with pesky newcomers like me...

Definitely on the agenda for next year - and we WILL have T sirts and stuff. Time just ran away with us towards the end but lots of lessons learned for next year so keep your feedback on what your'd like for next year coming. If we can do it, we will  :thumbsup:

Good idea Ina - I spent my spare time trying to track down Sally ITN which I did in the end but missed out on a lot of other people - Oh and Ina now you know roughly what I look like you can track me down next year  :thumbsup:

I was easy to find - chained to Spinners' Corner!   :D

SOooooo sorry to miss meeting up with you, Ina.  I was wearing my badge, just probably not easy to spot as I had chosen a jumper of similar colours, and have messy long hair which probably partly covered it up, too.

I'll PM you about the fleeces, Brucklay - but suffice to say the black one is a very fine fleece indeed, so says my expert friend  ;) ;D

And your avatar photo doesn't exactly help recognise you... ;D I probably saw you, then, but didn't know. Nevermind, next time!

I saw you too SitN, your jumper was bright enough for me to work out it was you, but I never quite got round to actually have a chat with you. I hope you had a good day though.

A very successful day, Beth, yes, thanks!  I hope you did too.  I never even got into the livestock pens until the very end of the afternoon, when milly molly kindly guarded the spinning wheels while I sloped off with Brucklay to see her Castlemilk boys and her Shetland fleeces.

I did have a quick look in the pens the night before, and was of course smitten with Anke's beautiful and incredibly friendly goats  :love: :goat: in their PJs.  Bless.
