I've had the desperate misfortune to be invited to the judging on Wednesday 20th Jan.
Simon, the landlord of The Baum, has been asked to be one of the judges in the Porters section, I've agreed to carry his bag
This means that I get to see the judging and then the official opening ceremony (2 horse pulled drays I believe).
It also means that I get to attend the trade session at 14:30.
By the time it opens to the public at 17:00 I expect to be gently leaning on a wall with a silly grin on!
