TAS meet up at the Rare Breed Sale - Lanark - 18th August
« on: August 05, 2011, 10:47:38 am »
Well, since the schools are back I'll be there, on time and with more time (for yapping and the like  :D)
Since there are a few of us going I think a meet up in the cafe is in order  ;)
I will make a sign and sit in the cafe area from 10am til (at least) 10.30am
Anyone who wants my mobile number (or some frozen Kune pork - hint hint  ;)) just drop me a pm.
I'll post a link to the cataloge once it's published, but it tends to only be a few days before the sale  ::)
Looking forward to seeing you all there
Karen  :wave:

My android has taken a note of it. ;)  Hopefully I'll hear the alarm and get there for coffee time - might combine it with a visit to my pal at Carnwath!
Always have been, always will be, a WYSIWYG - black is black, white is white - no grey in my life! But I'm mellowing in my old age

What time will it start?  And how long is it likely to go on?
Don't listen to the money men - they know the price of everything and the value of nothing

The full catalogue will not be available until Tuesday afternoon, but I will be there, so I get some idea on prices. but not with a trailer...

Might see some of you there.
