It runs from 10am - 4pm and admission is Ł1 with children under 16 free. Farlingaye High School Ransome Road Woodbridge Suffolk. I am told there is easy free parking. Not sure about disabled access, but being a school I daresay they have to have something suitable in place. So if your're in the area why not pop along and join in the fun! Maria x

Stardust Member Posts: 3,445 Group: Advanced Members Member #106 Joined: October 23, 2005	Yes, Ros. Usually I let them either make a picture (which comes with a mount) or a bookmark. The littluns always like to have a go and they usually go for purple and pink! Mind you....have had a few older people trying it out too, and one guy wouldn't let his kids anywhere near the table and sat waxing for ages!!! I didn't mind though, because he later came back and paid Ł40 for a framed work! I'm really looking forward to the event! See you there....and best of luck to your son for his recital! Maria x

My back was killing me last night....those chairs were terrible!!! Thanks again Ros, for passing that fair on to me when you couldn't do it! It was a good day! Maria x

Diamond Member Posts: 717 Group: Posted Member Member #235 Joined: January 31, 2006	Glad your back has recovered .. Something that I do,, and have found works reasonably well for me is that I let anyone and everyone I can make eye contact with , have a go for free. Only on small pieces of card,, but ,, I then have several walking adverts All I state is that,, everyone can have one go for free,, then , if you want to have another go, make a bookmark, a fridge magnet or a keyring, and cards for adults ... all at the same price of Ł1.50 I am sure I get far more people trying it out that way,, and my enjoyment of events is more in watching people enjoy themselves than anything else.
