Cannon Show, Retford
« on: 30 March 2014, 06:12:58 PM »
Having coped with the clocks going forward and mothers day I set off for Retford town hall and this years Cannon show. My sole aim to buy some brown inks. Plus meet up with friends.

Well, I achieved this and enjoyed I nice wander round this small show which I must say had some great games. The show was bigger this year with  more traders. Some of whom did seem tucked away in corners.

So what was the eye candy. Some taster pictures below and the rest at:

Ignore the games - you should see the catering!
Proper home made sponge cakes - really deep, good flavour, assorted types (Victoria, chocolate, coffee) - at affordable prices, unlike most shows I've been to in the last 12 months.
Worth the visit just for a cake and a brew.

Good mix of traders, a few friendly games, no queues.

Looking forward to next year.

Just down the road from me but I forgot all about it  :(  I missed it last year due to bad weather so perhaps next year will be third time lucky?
