who's going to lanark on friday?
« on: August 29, 2012, 10:26:09 am »
hi


am thinking of visiting the market on friday just for a nosey (ok i want to see all the animals and meet new people)


what time does it start?
where are good places to find people?
is there somewhere i can get a cup of tea and maybe some lunch?
what time does it normally finish?
would it be totally out of place to bring my 3 year old with me?


thanks

Me
Opens at 9.00am - bidding starts at 10.00am
Most of us & around the pig pens at some point - but it's not huge (maybe we should all wear a pink carnation or something  :idea:  )
Cafeteria & cafe on site (all undercover)
This ones a "biggy" so may go on longer than usual - maybe 3.00pm at a guess?  Check their website - got good directions on too http://www.lawrie-and-symington.com/
Loadsa folk bring wee ones (especially the last 2 - in school hols) Karen often takes her 2 pre-schoolers - just make sure they don't get you bidding card  :roflanim:
Be great to see you there  :thumbsup:

Actually guys, if there are any peafowl or geese, could you let me know how much they sell for please?  I'd just be interested to know!

Peacocks poop even more than Muscovies  :o
 
I might get there if I feel up to braving the crush.  I don't have my TAS badge yet (not got around to ordering it  :-[ ) but I might come up with an alternative. I will visit the piggies but mostly around the sheep.   Won't be taking the trailer........... :sheep: :sheep: :sheep:
 
The restaurant is good  :thumbsup:

I'll be there (with the little ones in tow  ::)) I'm sure we'll all manage to find each other  ;) Just look for the harrassed looking woman with a blue buggy and two very curly haired kids  :D
See you Friday  :wave:
