GR8 ~ Braves the rain and heads off to Newport, Shropshire

Posted on 12th Aug 2009 @ 11:13 AM

  • Newport Agricultural Show, Chetwyn Deer Park, Newport, Shropshire
  • Saturday, 18th July 2009
  • Friday, 17th July, saw torrential rain and raising doubts about the potential turnout, for the following days show.

    Arriving early on the Saturday morning, saw us getting the van stuck in the mud before we even got started ~ This did not look good!!!

    We soldiered on, stiff upper lip and all that and finally got set up.  We had a great corner plot in the Food Hall right next to the Aga demonstration area, wonder how they felt with us selling a full range of "Le Creuset" right under their noses?

    I could not understand why Iwona had brought so many stove top kettles?  But guess what was our best selling item?  You guessed, to my dismay... Yes, stove top kettles!

    This show saw the first introduction of somes examples from the Kitchencraft and Masterclass ranges, including silicone Egg Rings (our best seller for kids) Oil and Vinegar Sets and a handful of Cafetieres.  We also had a lot of interest in Kitchencraft's Home/Made preserve range, the full range will soon be finalised on our website.

    This range has now grown considerably and so our next 2 shows, the first at Eccleshall on Saturday, 5th September and Ludlow, the following Saturday, 12th September, we will show far more of these items, including our launch of the MINIAMO range (cookery for young ladies).

    We look forward to meeting you there, please pop by and say hello, we would love to hear from you.
