Yes, we are certainly a bit ahead of where we were at this time last year and I know there are a few more definites who haven't yet bought tickets.

I think the most impressive thing is that you have taught me how to do the links properly, Keith!!

My father and me were just writing a letter to our school's principal. And am confirming the Visa stuffs tommorrow!

Tony Summerfield wrote:Always important to Forum members is which other Forumites will be attending; using their Forum names the list of those who have already bought tickets includes the following:- Anita Bensoussane, Steve Alpe, David Chambers, Norman Wright, Timmy-the-dog, moonraker, Jools, Viv of Ginger Pop, Noddy13, Patc, Alan Blaikley and Matt Roberts.

I think you had said I can have the ticket which Anita bought for Hannah, who is unable to attend. I'll have to pay you, Anita! Really looking forward to meeting you all!!!

Tempting fate and all that.

Please put one aside for me Tony

Blow work! Do you really want to get to your death-bed and think, "I'm so sorry I didn't make that Enid Blyton Day, but really glad that I went to work and arrested that drunk"?

All down to priorities, really.

My apologies Nige!!!

Can only get time off if above minimum staffing levels...

Will endeavour to 'persuade' all other people to not take that day off.... or the next week when I'm off to see G4!

Perhaps a silly question, but what time does the day usually start and finish at. I would love to go, but have to be in cardiff by 8pm on that day for a gig so would have to be on a train by 5. Don't want to miss it as it seems like fate that its on the same day that i am actually going to be in the country!!

Last year it started at 10:30 and the final part of the programme began at 15:45 so you should be able to make it all

At last year's Enid Blyton I had two Birn Brothers facsimile booklets for sale, Wendy Wins Through and The Luck of the Laytons. I still have some of these left and they will be available at this year's Enid Blyton Day. Two new booklets will also be available, Sports and Games and A Non Stop Run.

The original books are all very scarce and normally sell for well over a £100, so these facsimiles are intended for those who would simply like the chance to read the books for a nominal price (I sold the two last year at £5 the pair). At present these booklets have not been made available through the Society Shop and have only been on sale at the Enid Blyton Day. There is still plenty of room for those who haven't yet bought tickets!

Good for all of you that are going to Loddon Hall I can not come because Demons Rocks is having a cricket match against on of the other towns in the area that day, I have to keeping watch that no streaker's come running on the field.
