Fair was a great success, great to meet the birders who popped in to say hello, hopefully a few will nip out to the shop for a coffee & a chat again. Brilliant to be next to the RSPB stall and especially as Austin Morley was manning it Good fun to have a fellow forum member as company during the day, especially to discuss things like Tropicbird sightings from Cornwall on the pager!!
Nice to see Ian too and pass on his Swarovski strap that he needed. Chatting with Peter Alker the resounding success of the event could make it an annual fixture on the Pennington Flash Calendar
