Quite a few people who booked on the march visit which was snowed off are unable to make the 27th April.

there are therefore a few extra places available if you can PM direct in order I can book you in (please provide your proper name in order you can be added to the list)

A couple of people got in touch who wrongly assumed their places would be rolled over onto the new date following the cancelation due to snow in March . This is not the case and you need to confirm the booking with me

Sorry to bang on but I don't want to turn anyone away on the day

Unfortunately only a mile north of and east of there was at leats 12 inchs of snow and roads were impassable as many described.

No storms or blizzards are forecast this weekend all will be fine

Hey Blober

OOps, forgot to PM you!!

Would you like a lift there? (and back.... :lol: ). I meant to ask you a couple days ago but it slipped my mind... 😞 ::)

Kool :thumbup:

We'll aim to be there by 1000? I've been before so no rush but Willy will probably want to make the most of the first hour being quiet, to get some decent photos in the bag. If we get there first I'll park on the left as you come into the car park. I'll be in the BM.

Yma O Hyd....

Thanks for the offer Sinker, but I should be ok. Our daughter has brought a bug into the house which causes vomiting and the shits. I have had it lightly, but being in Anglesey todaywith the Transit van I carried a bucket and a toilet roll in the back just in case I had an emergency 😞 . Not pleasant!!
I will be starting tommorow morning about 7.30 am again with a bucket in the boot in case of an emergency.
You are welcome to have a lift with me from Chirk or thereabouts as there is loads of room in the car.
Otherwise I will see you all there about tenish. :thumbup:
