Yes, the Sales Team are looking forward to being at Pewsey again, and will bring a good selection of items including many which have never found their way onto the website. A good opportunity to stock up on a range of bargains, from everyday necessities to exotic rarities.

I'm trying to decide if Lardy cake is an 'everyday necessity' or 'exotic rarity'...

@TheSalesTeam have sent you a message re Saturday!

[JulienW]

I'd just like to say a big thank you to Andy Cundick for organising and those attending today's show with their layouts and displays, and the sales team for a brilliant restart to the show calendar.

Well worth the trip down from Birmingham to be able to catch up with friends I'd not seen for nearly 18 months.

Echoing Julien's posting: An excellent day and great opportunity to re-bond and catch up with friends and colleagues in the first face to face and "contact" event for most of us for over 18 months.

Huge appreciation to Andy and all the Wiltshire Group for making the effort to go ahead with this.

Marshall's Bakery in Pewsey are still producing the stickiest, best and sweetest lardy cake that can be obtained - anywhere, as well as the biggest bacon bap I can remember buying - anywhere!

Not being from the UK, what is a bacon bap? This is the second time I have read this word "bap"
Thanks.

[Julian Evison]

I'll add my thanks to Andy and the team for making this happen. It was hugely enjoyable and everything I had hoped getting back to an Open Day would be - fine layouts, fine company and (not quite) fine weather!

Edit: A bap is a bread roll, so a bacon bap is bread roll filled with bacon. There is a big variation by region in the UK for the names of types of bread, loaves as well as smaller items. Sometimes the same names means something rather different. None are right or wrong - it's just variety!

Thanks Julian, a little more educated before I go to bed tonight.  :) :)
