NOT JUNE 16th... Jax is right... is June 14th... the other is another date that I needed to put in my diary, lol... good start, innit!!


UPDATE!!
I am now going to start compiling a list of definites/possibles/probables, lol,

definite

Daff
Harp Strings
Maddiecow
Claire in Wales
Jax
Kath
Ann of Green Gables (and Teddy is safe, lol)

Probable

Howie (but not until after 2pm)

possible

Julie Ann
Star
Karen in the Desert
Taff

Now we are closer to the time, everyone will have a better idea of whether or not they can make it!!

The fair starts at 10am, and ends at 4pm

There is a restaurant/cafeteria available at County Hall for snacks and drinks… hours are 12 til 2pm

There is loads of parking space available at the Hall, so no problems there.

Anyone arriving by train. Cwmbran station is about a mile away. I am more than happy to collect/deliver back later, lol

Very near to the station is the shopping centre, which has free parking, for those who would like to have a shopping spree as well!!

I thought it might be nice if we went on from the Fair, to somewhere for a meal/drink/chat? Depending of course on whether you have timetables to keep, buses/trains to catch etc

There are loads of places….. either one of the many cafes/restaurants in the shopping centre, or one of the *all day food* pubs in the area… there are a few good ones, although I’ll have a better idea once I know how many wish to go… one or two of the venues are very small, lol!!

Are you planning to stay overnight? There are a few b&b’s, guest houses, travel and premier lodges in the area.. the closer you get to Newport and Cardiff, the more there are available. I’ll put web links in later, if people need them.

I will have to check Daff as i cant remember if i have a wedding around that date in Dorset or if its July.

But if i am available that will be cool.

Update just googled the fair and it said that its on the 14th admission £2.50 so not sure if i got the right one lol

On June the 14th, not 16th... it won't let me change it :~((

Now that would be great so long as it is not the same date as the Cork meet.

I have someone in Cwmbran I need to see and could link the two but as you know can't plan too far ahead.

Hi daff i will be interested but you will have to remind me nearer the time Usually it is a very good history fair hope to see a few people there and put names to faces xxxHowie

Howie, that would be lovely... I'll remind you closer to the time.. I am going anyway. There is also one later in the summer in Swansea, so I shall probably go to that as well...
