You did better than I did! I managed to buy a badge - it was said on the forum beforehand that they would be on sale (if I remember correctly!), but it took me a while to track one down... And then I wore it, but didn't see anybody else wearing one. So I didn't speak to anybody.

Unfortunately we didn't have time to get a TAS stand organised, so there weren't TAS badge or t-shirts on sale. We time we will hopefully be better organised, it was towards the bottom of the list this year!

We've had largely positive feedback, yes, and on here wholly positive feedback so far, but it was our first show and we know there's lots we can improve on and need to improve on.

Robert has sent us some feedback on the pig show organisation which couldn't be described as good, and which we will work through.

We had some comments from visitors on the day about the lack of concessions for OAPs (which we will sort for next year) and some about the ticket prices. There are dozens of small but important things that we know weren't right that we'll work on.

If anyone would like to send us formal feedback please email [email protected] or use the form on the Festival website at:

http://www.scottishsmallholdershow.co.uk/feedback/

And thanks again to all who came and made the most of it - too many of you to mention.

We live and learn!

I'm sure no-one would expect everything perfect at the first attempt, we run a small local fete and we tweak it every year.
Really sorry I had to miss it, but sounds like people had a good day, here's hoping for next year.

Fully understandable - and if you need a volunteer to man the stand next year, keep me in mind! I'm sure a lot of TASers wouldn't mind manning (or womanning

) a stand for an hour or two...

And more hands will be needed to help in Spinners' Corner please! Hopefully some spinners to help give people a go at spinning, and also anyone at all to just give the spinners a break (guarding the wheels from intrigued little - and not so little

- fingers when no-one's there to help them have a go legitimately!) so the spinners can get to see the show, too!

Yes people are fascinated by spinning wheels but forget they are someone else's work tools

. Covering them up, even with a bin bag, helps if you have to leave them, but a guardian angel for when the spinners are away for a cuppa would be good.

We mustn't forget that there is an active spinning group in Lanark - it's not part of a guild as far as I know. I can contact them for help/co-operation if that is what is needed. It sounds as if spinning interest is much greater than even a few years ago, which is wonderful

Too knackered and busy to post before now! My OSB gilt and I had a great day, she had lots of fuss and attention, and I met lots of TAS people. It was a shame I couldn't be in 2 places at once: I really enjoyed showing Milly but it meant I missed out on lots of stuff I'd like to have seen. I did find meeting fellow TAS folk funny: "Hello, what's your name? No, your other (TAS) name?"
A brilliant day, well done to everyone who worked so hard to make it such a success. Looking forward to next year's already!!
