The Framers Forum

The next Lion Framer's Event will be held in our Birmingham warehouse on Sunday, October 17th, 11 - 4.

We expect to present some interesting surprises.

Refreshments will be served from 1 and we've arranged extra parking. And, it's all free.

Make a note in your diary now. More information will be posted here as it becomes available.

I'm very excited about the event, and will definatly attend. Look forward to meeting other members of the forum members.

Hello

Just to update you, we are now planning to make a meeting point for the Framer's Forum at the Lion Framer's Event. It'll be marked on the plan when you get here.

We look forward to welcoming you.

Best regards

House Full

We've had an unprecedented level of interest in our Lion Framer's Event to be held this Sunday, October 17th, 10.30 - 4. We now have over 330 framers and galleries who've emailed us to say that they are coming along. So, if you check our website, you'll see that we've posted the 'House Full' sign.

When you do get here, you'll see that we've created a meeting place for Framers Forum members. Go up the stairs to the equipment demo on the mezzanine and it's on the right.

Doors will be open from 10am, and the seminars start at 11. Parking may be a problem and you'll be guided when you enter Garrison Street.

We all look forward to welcoming you on Sunday.

It's north of Watford!

I was brought up in London and quickly learned that anywhere north of Watford was "up north". Once they opened the M1 some people would venture as far as Watford Gap which was clearly so-named because it was the opening to the great wilderness of the "Far North". I don't think I knew anyone who ventured past Watford Gap without a full survival kit - and of those that did, I'm not sure how many returned to tell the tale.

I am from newcastle so no its not north.
