Do bears have an affinity with race courses that I've missed?     Thanks for letting us know anyway

Strangely, I exhibited at Doncaster Racecourse some years ago.

LOL - This one is a bit different, there is a huge conference complex at Sandown. Ashdown already run Bead Fairs there and apparently it is really luxurious.

What excites me, is that it is only about ten miles from Heathrow Airport so there is lots of possibility for overseas artists and visitors.

10 miles you say?  Hmmmmm

Och, no, I've checked out their site now, you can fly your helicopter right on in there, who needs Heathrow?

Katy, sweetie, if you're going to the trouble of bringing your helicopter down for this event could I be awfully cheeky & ask that you could land on my private helipad & possibly pick me & Mark up en-route please? Just if it's not too much trouble? Dawn, I'm sure Katy wouldn't mind a minor de-tour to collect you too if she's coming your way? :crackup:  She's such a lovely girl....

Hi Susana

I would say that all transport is excellent - it's only 15 miles from London, fairly close to Heathrow airport, and not too far from Gatwick airport either.

Just to add ..............

I am so pleased - I think the show will be in really good hands.  Couldn't be better really.  Would it be possible to try and include some small workshops or demonstrations?

Oh boy ... spent the first 35 years of my life in Staines (near Sandown ... what a perfect excuse for a week-end away.  Reminising AND a Bear Fair ... :dance:  :dance:  :dance: .

Love you Dawn.

LOL - thank you Karon, but I'm afraid I can't take any of the credit. It will be organised by Ashdown in Arundel, I have never been to the venue but it looks lovely on their website. There is a lot of good reasonable accommodation nearby, and the catchment area is amazing.

I will pass on your suggestions of workshops and demonstrations.

Thanks Dawn,

I think the show will be GREAT there.

Also I feel the show HAS to be done by Bear enthusiasts - that was what was wrong when it changed hands before.
