You have the choice Billie of arriving Friday the night before (no crafting just food and a lot of alcohol) or coming up Saturday early (crafting, food & more alcohol) Mr Green

we start the crafting on the saturday billie as kate says .
the retreat starts friday evening then we all get together for a chat and a coffe or a drink if you wnat one ,then we settle into our rooms and move our craft equipment into the meeting rooms once they have emptied of any delegates from friday meetings ( this can take an hour or so sorting out who sits where and who sits next to who and where we do the workshops, getting our equipment out etc ) , later on we go for evening meal and lots more chatting and getting to know one another , only lots of boozing if you want to .we are very refined and not loud and boisterous , honest ,but its nice to get together just to chat before we start crafting because it helps us all to get to know one another before hand and is a bit more relaxed that way . however if you want to come along on the saturday then thats ok too , you will just miss out on the getting to know you bit thats all , and will have to get to know us while crafting .
im sure one or two people turned up on the saturday at the nottingham one , not 100% though .
do whatever feels right for you billie , but i will say its great on the friday night with the chat and a meal and a glass of wine or 2 , proper girly ( and steve of course with his camera ) so bring your best lippy .

Will you be going on the Friday Billie ? I would rather do that and spend
the two nights if that is ok with you. More time to get to know everone.

yes billie make the most of it , make the weekend last that little bit longer ,otherwise it will be over before you know it if you dont come til saturday . plus youd be sat at home on the friday night thinking
" they are all together allready and i am missing out "

You're right, Kim: there were at least two who came Saturday morning at Nottingham. Cath was only there for the day and Patty drove up early Saturday morning as she didn't want to leave Ken for longer than necessary. But it would be a very long trip for Billie on the Saturday morning, I should think. The Friday night was good, as you have all said, because of getting to know everyone.

Much to be said for an ice breaker session, and I haven't met most of you, so I definitely need the Friday night session.

I feel that about everyone. Those that went last year have the advantage
of knowing most of the others.

can i just also add that we dont have a fashion parade or anything like that so folks dont go out buying lots of new clothes and stuff (unless you really want to ) we just do casual dressing at evenings .

a spray of perfume and a bit of lippy is good enough

The ones that went the first year had an advantage over those of us who went last year, Steph!

Glad you're coming both nights, Billie: so looking forward to meeting you and all the others I haven't met before.

That's ok then - I'd rather spend spare cash (whatever that is!!) on craft.

I did make a bit of an effort in the evenings last time, though, as I wore some "don't matter" clothes during the day in case I managed to get ink or glue down them!
