I guess we must be spoilt with Aardvark
Have been in for a cuppa before and bought nothing, and was made to feel very welcome. Lez has also talked me out of buying something expensive, and suggested much cheaper (and much more suitable) alternatives. Plus the smell of leather in that shop is lovely (Mmmm) and watching him make the quivers etc is always fascinating... lovely to watch a true craftsman at work
We're lucky to have such good retailers in our respective areas of the country!
Anyway, back to topic... I'm not overly fussed with Lilleshall as a venue, though the halls are ok to stay in and reasonably priced, the facilities for camping aren't great. The field is nice though. My favourite venues have been Lichfield and Andover. Just wish we could have Andovers field and facilities in the middle of the country
