My thanks to Sam who pain-stakingly sat and typed all these dates out for us \(sorry it’s all in capitals).

Unfortunately it would have taken too long to add the contact details and address so if you want to go to any of the shows but can’t find details on the net please leave a comment and we’ll pass on the details.

If you know of any other country shows or fairs in 2009 please leave a comment and we can add it to the list.
