Once again the Birdwatching Northumberland stand at the Bird Fair proved very popular; particularly each afternoon, when visitors were able to sample Lindifarne Mead, Alnwick Rum and a selection of Allendale Beers.\u00a0 We collected most of the alcohol from Northumbrian Gifts<\/a> just before heading south, and arrived at Rutland Water in time to assist with getting the stand ready.<\/p>\n

It was really good to meet up with so many of our existing clients during the 3 days, and we\u00a0made lots of new clients as well \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 Martin’s 2 talks were both very well attended; 118+ (the clicker counter wasn’t working properly!) for ‘Northumberland’s Winter Wonderland’ on Saturday, and 142 for ‘Northumberland through the Seasons’ on Sunday.\u00a0 With holiday bookings, pelagic bookings and several prestige tours booked since the weekend this was our most productive Bird Fair since we became part of the Birdwatching Northumberland consortium in 2008.\u00a0 Almost as enjoyable as meeting visitors who are interested in Northumberland, is working as part of a well-established team.\u00a0 With most us stopping at the White Lion in Whissendine, a remarkable\u00a0combination of English Country pub and Indian Restaurant (one of\u00a0the consortium members has a bit of an obsession with\u00a0Eggs, Peas and Potato…), the evenings were filled with excellent food, good ale and some very enthusiastic discussions.\u00a0 Looking forward to 2012 \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 Finally a big thank you to Iain for his organisation, banter…and wielding of the sweeping brush \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n
