Ruby’s at Thatcham Saturday 31st October

So we’re here again!  It’s the day before the event when as event organisers, you’re hoping that all the paperwork and admin has been done correctly, that all of the traders will turn up, no one will turn up that you had forgotten about, all of the tables in the hall will be undamaged, and most of all – that there will be plenty of customers! read more
