Ladies (and gentlemen with lady partners) I have booked a double room although I will be on my own.

Fenside MF Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 Apart from the model show itself, what else is in the vicinity?? trying to sell it as a romantic weekend away.... Theres a whacking great big shopping centre next door with nike,reebok and gap shops etc,go for a walk by the river welland or take a ride on the little electric boat that does tours up and down the river,you will see plenty of ducks I'll be going seeing as its only 10 mins down the road from me.

robbo Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 Apart from the model show itself, what else is in the vicinity?? trying to sell it as a romantic weekend away.... Mrs R comes with me every year, whilst there isn't much to do in Spalding town centre other than the standard shops but the Springfields Centre is quite good and there are other things to do there as well as shops. Like Jamie says there are gardens and places to walk alongside the river which makes a nice change. Although, having said that, it might just be because she wants to stop me spending too much : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leakeyvale Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 ..and we mustn't forget the FTF dinner in the pub next door on Saturday night (I assume we will be gathering there again) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Umm... ... no great ideas, never been there myself Now Hampshire/Dorset/Wiltshire are worth visiting - Winchester (Cathedral), Corfe Castle, Salisbury (Cathedral AND Stonehenge AND Avebury Ring) to mention only a few places. Weymouth where the sailing Olympics are to be held in 2012... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Sadly this show always clashes with a work day 3. As long as I'm employed with the company I am presently with or unless I win the big lotto then it looks like it will be a while yet before I can attend this one > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leakeyvale Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 ... what a very polite, descreet, approachng middle-age fruiterer I you mean "what ABOUT a very..." the answer is NO WAY.

If you go back far enough through this section you will find pictures from both the spring and autumn Spalding shows, Lord F is the forum "official" photographer, meaning he is the only one who can take his eyes off the models long enough to use the camera! : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
