Farnborough Show - 24 / 25 February
Sharon , Sandra , and Rowena all spent time manning our stand at the Farnborough show over the weekend of 24 / 25 February .
The event started as a bit of a disaster - because of storm Doris they were locked out of the building for safety reasons , but undaunted they got set up on Friday .
Everyone ran make ’ n ’ take sessions . Without their usual blanks they turned to cards , and this was very successful , as they didn ’ t need to base coat first .
Rob the MDF Man was there and they secured some of his stock to take to Crick to sell at the convention .
Over the weekend they secured five new members , and six renewals from last year .
We would like to return to some other shows like Exeter and the NEC , Birmingham , but we need volunteers .
Are you able to spend some time at a show with the BADFA stand ? Even half a day would help . You don ’ t have to take a M & T session , unless you ’ d like to , and there will always be someone there to help .
If you would like to know more - like getting free entry to the show , and parking , speak to us at convention , or e-mail badfa . editor @ gmail . com

Membership …
It ’ s that time of year again ! For those who have yet to renew , there is attached to the e-mail a membership form . You can either pay directly in to the bank account - using the details on the form - or pay to the membership secretary at convention . Or you can post a cheque - the address will be supplied on request .
There will be forms available at Crick for those who need them .
Fees remain unchanged at £ 15 for the year for all grades ( joint members at the same address , £ 20 ). Pretty good rates , we reckon . Less than a Costa coffee a month !
