The multi-purpose complex was built four years ago and the indoor facilities include a sports hall that we’ll use for our exhibition, a conference room for talks and an octagon-shaped gymnasium for the fashion show. Everything is on ground floor level and there’s lots of free parking outside. It’s less than three miles from Junction 20 on the M62. The date for your diary this year is Sunday 4th October 2009 from 10.00 am to 4.00 pm. It’s a great ‘all knitting’ show with top exhibitors bringing along their yarns, patterns and accessories. Over the past few years, our fashion show has become increasingly popular and it’s always a show with pizzazz! Our new venue allows us to have free talks and the speakers will be on the notice board at the entrance when you arrive. Entry on the day for everyone will be £5, advance tickets cost £4.
