BC Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 I was speaking to Brian Holmes at Lanark last weekend and I'm sure he said the Toy fair was on in Aberdeen on Sunday 19th October 2008 and they were doing Inverness on the Saturday. I'm not sure of the start times so best phone and check with hotel nearer the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
