I never attended this show as it was the wrong side of the country for me but I got the impression it was well attended. Was that not the case?

I went on Sunday , not many visiters no crowds , it was rather pleasant , not good for the show though
Spent some time with Joey Richardson , very impressed with her work all be it most is artistic but starts with turning the blanks

I went yesterday and had a great time, Les Thorne did make it and he gave us a masterclass in bowl turning.
I have missed only one, due to ill health and have enjoyed all those I went to.
I hope that this is not the last one, we have been down this road before, Essex County Council owns the place and were in the process of selling it' and the show went from annual to biennial.
