Hello, I am looking to book stalls for the Woodseats Festival Craft Fayre. It will take place on Sunday the 7th of July inside the dining hall of Woodseats Primary School, 12 - 4pm. Stalls cost £12.00. Please PM me if interested. Thank you. ---------- Post added 13-05-2013 at 08:46 ---------- It should be a really good day. Any more takers?

I'd be interested in this. I do Tom Waits songs on the mandolin and our "Tom, Nick and Lenny" nights at the Red Lion and the Lantern Theatre have been very successful (the Lantern was sold out). If you need an act any time I'd love to be considered.

Lots to see & do this weekend at the Woodseats Festival. :-)

Anyone else interested in having a stall?

Hello, I still have a few stalls available at the Woodseats Festival Craft Fair if any of you are interested? It's on Sunday, the 15th of July 12-4pm and stalls are £12. Please no handmade cards though as we have a few selling them now. If you are interested then please PM me with your email address and I can send you a booking form. Thank you.

May’s Day. It really wasn’t May’s day. Her run of bad luck had started in the morning when she’d left Rodger’s breakfast cooking unattended, to answer the telephone, and ended up burning the lot. The worst thing was that it was one of those pesky double glazing sales calls. She kept trying to butt in and tell the loud lady on the other end that the house was council rented but it was no use, the loud lady had a ready prepared script and by god, she was going to read it. Rodger was cross (just lately, Rodger was eternally cross). He snapped at her, the usual barbs fired across the lemon yellow kitchen, she couldn’t be trusted, she was a waste of space, a useless cook, did she really expect him to eat this rubbish? He threw her favourite cup, the one with the cheerful spring daffodils, it smashed against the wall. Her bottom lip trembled as she felt the force of the slammed door and heard the crunch of gravel as the car sped off. A few tears leaked from her eyes as she set to cleaning up the mess. May grabbed her handbag and left for town, an afternoon of coffee and cake with her oldest and dearest friend, Pauline. Her steps quickened as she spotted the 97 coming around the corner. She wasn’t quite at the stop when it flew by. The driver spotted her but he was having a bad day too so, spitefully, left her lonely and sorrowful and twenty minutes late. Pauline wasn’t too chuffed, she had to be at the hairdressers in forty minutes for her monthly cut and blow-dry. What kind of gossip could they have in forty bloody minutes, she sniffed. Typically, Pauline chattered non-stop about herself, her children, how clever they are, never thinking to stop and ask how May’s day was going. May didn’t mind though, she never complained, she wasn’t that sort. She felt a little lost when they parted ways and couldn’t think of how to spend the rest of the snatched afternoon. So she just went home. The return bus ride wasn’t much fun; it was full of school kids, their chewing gum and their obnoxious strings of expletives. She felt exhausted by the time she reached the end of her road. Rodger’s car was in the drive which it had no place to be at 3.45pm. She hoped he had calmed down and that they could try and have a nice evening. She’d do him his favourite, egg and chips, and she wouldn’t burn a thing. She’d even do fried bread and maybe even a nice crumble for after? He’d like that. But Rodger was busy entertaining his fluffy secretary, Miss. Nancy Watkins. Miss. Nancy Watkins grasped the kitchen worktop and Rodger had his crumpled work trousers around his ankles, and was reaching a happy conclusion. It really wasn’t May’s day.

Hello, Any facepainters available on Friday 2nd of Decemeber? It's for Woodseats School Xmas Fayre 4pm - 6pm. Stalls cost £12. Please get in touch if you can help. Thank you.

There is a Christmas fair at Dalewood View Care Home tomorrow, Saturday 27th of November 11am-3pm with stalls and refreshments.

What a fantastic day! I met some really very lovely people x

I have a stall at the fun day but am still waiting for details through the post, could you please PM me? Thanks x

Anyone got anything coming up? We make cards, jewellery and (occasionally) cakes & buns. We've got a few stalls in July but nothing for August yet. Thanks x

Hope you did well on the day. I had a stall too but never got the chance to have a look round x

We just use a pasting table covered with a pretty table cloth. Quick, easy and folds up x

What a lovely post! Huge congratulations x

I make earrings from vintage beads and live in Woodseats so I'd definitely be interested x

I had a really good day. Thanks to all the customers who bought cards & jewellery. It was so nice to see so many familiar faces.

I'm doing the Tesco one tomorrow for the first time. Anyone been? What's it like? Does it get busy?

I did the last one but there were only approximately 15 cars, it wasn't very well attended. I was quite surprised with Arbourthorne being quite a large place and plenty of neighbouring places like Heeley, Gleadless etc but I just don't think people knew about it.

You have to book in advance for the Tesco car boot.

Marsh Lane is good, it's the last one of the year.

It's £8. I tend to get there about 6.15am.

I've had fun going there the last few months so I'll miss it too. I thought it seemed fairly quiet today though?

Actually, I discovered today that next Sunday is the last car boot sale at Marsh Lane for the year.
