I have been considering various leaflets and also made a few of my own. I think we should compare material when I'm next at Bracknell and see how they compare. I'm looking for a nice professional design as well as good content. Oh, how is the group you started doing? I've added it to my leaflets to

You should setup a simple wordpress (or similar) blog to document your experiences. I'd recommend being open and friendly, but not openly discuss conversations with other vendors, and not paint them in a light that might make future attendance difficult for you :) > > I know I'm interested in read
