The owner is Chris Thomas, not sure that he has an opening time. and it's usually by appointment. I do know that the local clubs sometimes meet there at the weekends.

I will PM you his telephone number and you can speak to him direct.

I know that Chris won't be there on Sat 1st of June cause he is doing a workshop in Swindon that day

Ok, thanks Paul...does he sell potential trees to work on? I guess I'd feel kinda weird phoning the guy up out of the blue. Maybe I'll wait till they have an open day or something...

The club meet there every Sunday unless Chris is away. They would be happy for you to turn up. There are heaps of stuff there to buy. Just ring him up go along. You won't be disappointed.

Bought two lovely projects from him at Heathrow at very good prices . If i didn't live so far away i'd be calling him every week to see what else he has for sale :grin:
