The stand will be located in the balcony area overlooking the hallA sales list form is included with the April mailing and further copies can be downloaded from the web site as a PDF. Please make sure all the items are labelled with your membership number, price, the page (if more than one), line number and a contact telephone number on your form. A supply of blank labels will be available on the stand. Commission will be taken on all sales.
Sorry but no books or videos. No items will be held over on Saturday evening.
Trading times will start later than the opening of the show and finish earlier than the closing time.
All transactions strictly CASH only.
Due to space constraints no more than 3 sheets per member (60 items) will be accepted for sale.Catering
The Centre catering service will be offering sandwiches, paninis, tea, coffee etc. Regrettably there will be
no hot food available as after privatisation the kitchen was closed down, as was the licensed bar.As an alternative there is a Harvester pub, The Horse & Groom, by the roundabout at Devonshire Way. There is also a large Sainsbury’s Superstore on the A322 about 1/2 mile towards the M3 which has a Starbucks serving, we are told, their usual fare plus paninis, sandwiches, etc. A short walk from the Centre is a petrol station which has a Waitrose shop attached stocking sandwiches, pies, confectionery etc. A little further on there is KFC with upstairs seating available. The town centre has a number of eating places including The Old Manor, a Wetherspoons pub, although the it is quite a walk away.
Failing that you could, of course, bring your own
