Entry is FREE and includes admission to the grounds, and the big house too!

I have a feeling that it will be busy and people are being encouraged to car share where possible.

There will be a few Neepsters! going along - look out for the Neeps! badges - and if my Selfsufficientish Tshirt is dry I'll wear that. Wore it the other day at the Rare Breeds Sale and one lady commented that she really liked the Tshirt and hopefully she'll come on to the Ish site! YAY.

I was there but hey, you already knew that eh Shirlz

Good day out and very informative, really enjoyed the trash can drums and drummers

[Shirley]

It was a good day yes - apart from the usual niggles... polystyrene food trays etc... cardboard being thrown into the 'normal' rubbish container rather than into the recycling bin, and the man from Aberdeenshire Council telling everyone that they can't recycle tetrapak in this country - this country being Scotland... the place with Fife in it, which unless it's closed down is a tetrapak recycling site!

The drummers were excellent - I was trying to find out some more info about them but have drawn a blank so far. They used recycled blue plastic juice/whatever drums and they made lots of noise.

It appears that the place in Scotland no longer accepts tetrapak as there wasn't enough demand for the service!
