Previous publicity days:
Throughout the year the Team attends various fetes, fairs and country shows. If you would like to meets us and learn more about the Team then why not come along and chat to a Team member. We are a very friendly bunch and some members can even talk "the hide legs of a donkey"! Below are some of the venues we attended in 2007 and where you may again find us later this year. Watch the local press for details.
On Saturday 28 April the Backpackers Club held their annual meeting at Bellingham. The Team were invited to attend. Vango generously donated to the Team a marquee tent which we will use at other venues throughout the year.
