BTS Expo is sooooo close!!!!!!

[Ray Hale]

Well its nearly here and its all systems go. If your trading you should have reiceved your passes by Monday and if your visiting then we cant wait to welcome you on the day.

We have some new traders this years as well as some of the old favorites, so there should be lots of bargains to be had.

I know you all know (duh) but I keep getting e-mails asking for the date.

it is on SUNDAY 17th MAY

As usual we will be setting up on the Saturday (16th at 9.30am) so if you can spare a couple of hours to help us put out a few tables out you will be welcome. We will also be drinking ourselves into a pre show stupur on the evening at a location to be revealed to those souls who volunteer to hump tables.

So if you fancy seeing Mark and me actually put our hands in our pockets then give us a shout.

See you all soon

Ray and Ang

Let me know

[Steve McIntyre]

Hi Ray, what do you mean, put your hands in your pockets? Is it 1) put them in your pockets while we carry the tables or 2) put them in your pockets while we're in the pub and not get them out until there's a pint in front of you? Or, of course, Both!!! See you there!

[Ray Hale]

Both mate!!!!!!

Ill have you know that I once bought a drink. 1976 I think or was it 1977?

[Colin D Wilson]

Can't make it to the saturday set up this year due to the big white clanking brum brum being poorly sick dying so appologies for that.

I'm laying a £5 bet on that bloke off the Tele turning up when all the hard works been done....AND that he still hasn't got a new 'T' Shirt rack sorted out (but has three rolls of gaffer tape in his box )

[Steve McIntyre]

Last year he had perfect timing...he hid round the corner until all the tables were out

We can't make Saturday, but hope to be on door at 8am Sunday. Can't wait to see if I can get spids I want, probably not

[Ray Hale]

Same old excuse you lot.LOL Cant make it blah blah blah ( Except you Mary of course )

Well we will soldier on, as always Mark P and me will be there propping the bar up, recanting tales of Shows long past and accepting drinks of any passing strangers. Its a hard job but someone has to do it.

Thanks darlin xx

We're coming down from Wales for the show. My family lives in Warwickshire which is handy! Hoping to get our first spid at the show, Craig wants a b. emilia or smithi - I'm interested to see whats out there. Thespidershop.co.uk have some great spiders in at the moment - Euathlus sp. "Blue" Pichidangui Blue Beauty are very interesting but I wouldn't want to touch anything unsuitable for beginners with a barge pole!

Can't wait for the show!

[mary walters]

7 days folks

[Yvonne Woolley]

Not sure what good I would be if I came being on a crutch now with only one good leg ( poor old b--ger) but my thoughts are with you and I am sure that we are all greatfull for all the hard work that you put in not only setting up the shows but in the running of the B.T.S. in general and I really do thank you again for it all, Well done indeed for the pleasure that you give to myself and all of the members. Look forwards to meeting you all at the show.

[mary walters]

I can barely walk at the minute Yvonne, but I will be there at my table, with my foot up I will be ok.

Oh yeah and you are younger than me lol.
