19th November 2008

We are next at the The British Bear Fair which is held at Hove Town Hall, Hove, East Sussex on the 23rd November 2008 between 10am and 4pm. We hope you will be able to come and see us and all the bear artists. Also come and see all this years entries for the British Bear Artist Awards. Prehaps stock up on Christmas projects plenty of time to sew up that special present or how about treating yourself to a new kit. If you would like to stock up on larger pack sizes of joints then let us know beforehand so we can bring them ready for you to collect! We have just sent a newsletter out which gives free entry to the show. If you haven't joined the mailing list yet and would like a free entry ticket, we will send another letter out to all new subscribers on Friday evening.

Please note that the Manchester Show on the 30th November has unfortunately been cancelled.
