Im well aware of how far away Yeovil is too after living there for 19/21 years

But yeh, If anyone wants to go meet up afterward, grab some food and drink etc that would be pretty cool.

If we get enough people RSVP we could probably book somewhere.

Oh Yeah, i just remembered. Over the road from where this is hosted there is a "recycled center" which is where you go in, pay about £4/£10 and get to fill a shopping basket/trolly with junk.

Well one mans junk is anothers treasure, im talking polysytrene cups, plastic sweet jars, film containers, netting, elastic bands. You get the idea, this place is perfect for supplies.

Yeovil's not that far from bristol, might trek it to this one despite being absoultely skint (Just spent £175 on a sigma 105mm from ebay, so abit tight for cash at the moment, it better be worth it!)

Is this quite a big event?

What did you guys think of Bugfest? I thought it was maybe a little early in the year for livestock, but some other interesting stalls as well.

Picked up a nice adult female Pharnacia who is doing very well (thanks Curtis), and me dad got a nice dried puffer fish from arthur

Could have done with a bigger venue I thought, there were so many people!

You turned up at a show and didn't bother going in 'coz of the queue ?! :blink:

We all complain when these shows are not busy enough and then we complain when they are, I just don't get it
