My grandson was here yesterday and he went round, he was well impressed with the craft lessons. It also means me having to get another DVD as he blagged one off me.

Averaging about 500 visitors through the door each week from all around the world. People have signed the book from New Zealand, Cyprus and Australia. I suspect they're over here on holiday with family and so just lucky that they got chance to see it.

What's even better is that people are coming from all across Lancashire to visit it and making particular journeys to do so. I've seen in the book visitors from Blackburn, Oldham, Preston, Manchester and all around.

If you haven't been yet, make the effort. Don't keep saying, 'I'll go next week', you might be busier next week take the time out now because you will kick yourself if you miss it.

This is a mustsee. All credit to the staff and those who have helped in any way.

I did a little bit of filming today and put a short video together.

This is my first attempt at doing this so it's not going to be perfect but it gives a flavour of the exhibition - I hope.

Try again.

Are the spare DVD's at the exhibition or will I have to order one?

Gayle · 09-08-2008, 21:41

Best to pm Maccawozzagod - he'll sort it out.

I went along to the exhibition and really enjoyed it.

One question, though, what happened to stuff that was donated for the exhibition, but wasn't used? There seemed to be room for more exhibits.

Gayle · 09-08-2008, 21:47

It was a bit of tight squeeze to get everything in as it was - we do change it over though so if you come again you see a few different things.

We only have a limited amount of lockable space too and the last thing I want is for someone's priceless piece's to go missing... we have added stuff and as Gayle said we do change things around too

DVD's are available to buy at the Exhibition now without ordering.

Well done to everybody involved with this. I wish I could go! Looks like a brilliant work!
