I’m going.
I’ll have the Lochstyle prototype with me too.
So we should work out a direction for it to travel 😜

How did the fair go yesterday?

Hopefully the snow had melted enough to allow a good turnout.

Roads were clear on the way in from Aberdeen. It was a good day, I don't know the exact numbers but it felt pretty busy and the day fair flew by. I think the attendance was good, up on previous years. Quite a few kids taking an interest and asking about tying.

There was a good number of raffle prizes and some really nice prizes in the mix.

Great stuff Robert, sorry I couldn't make it this year.

Cheers
