I'm going tomorrow (Saturday)

Strangly enough, I've just put a bottle of water in my bag ! lol !

I'm just going to have a look round, see a few LIVE bits and see what there is - collect any freebies and leaflets.

I'll then look through everything in the days following and place any orders online.

To everyone going - have a great time. Any idea how many people are going ? Saturday is now sold out apparently !!!!

Might even see you there because a friend and I are going on Saturday too  :D. I think the chances of our meeting are pretty slim but anyway I hope you really enjoy it.

Here's a hint: make a Rootschat badge & wear it with pride!

I have done that at local fairs.

Rootschat had hoped to exhibit, but the costs for a non-commercial site turned out to be prohibitive apparently.  Maybe next time...


Have fun!

kind regards, Arranroots  ;)

Olympia today was excellent and full of information. I have so many leaflets to look at that I have enough reading matter for a week at least!

One thing I feel I should warn you about, however, is getting to hear the talks. Check (from your programme) when you arrive what it is you want to go to be it a talk or a workshop and get your tickets as early as possible. We made this mistake and missed out on a few.

Enjoy your day  :D
