Hi Julia ,
it was such a pleasure to meet you - and you had such a lovely stall full of bearies ! 
Many congratulations to all the winners  :clap:  I was very pleased to pick up a 2nd place award for my miniature , Tiffany.

Last year there was a side room on the ground floor for the judging / viewing by the public .
Just ask the people on the desk as you enter the building . By the way there is a multi-storey car park
right opposite the Town Hall in Hove . The fair itself was on the 1st floor in one room .

Hope this helps 

Ruth

We did get a letter last year advising a time when we needed to display our nominated pieces by - might still be time to receive one yet ??
I know they have to stay in place until 4pm . I think it was 10 am they had to be in the (separate) judging room ... which ties in with the
"doors opening" . I'll probably try and get there for 9.30 am .

(Also ; Congrat's Claire !    :clap: )

Hi Susan ,

You could look at the details that went for this year's competition on  www.bearbasics.co.uk

You'd have plenty of time to get the specific 2010 dtls as I think the registration for 2009 was by the end of July.
I think I heard that there'll be a new website set up for the BBAAs .

Mini Hugs , Ruth

Tami thank you SO much for posting these - oh how sweet     
That's made my day !
