We need your positive response to stop yet another Bear Fair falling out of the 2007 diary,
Miniatura have been offered Hall 7 at the NEC on 13th May 2007 to stage their Bears and Dolls Show.
They are looking for applications from exhibitors by 8th January 2007 to underwrite their booking, otherwise the Fair will not take place. It only seems reasonable that we should share some of their risk by giving our support at this time. We at Christie Bears have already booked our places and we would hope that others will follow our lead. Whether you are an existing exhibitor or would like to join us for the first time please don't hesitate to contact Miniatura. You can do this as follows:
1. By email to office@miniatura.co.uk
2. By Fax to 0121 783 9922
3. By phone to 0121 783 9922 (answerphone on 24 hrs)
4. By Post to:
Miniatura Exhibitions and Fairs
Office C18, HRS House
Garretts Green Lane

B33 0UE
Miniatura is a truly national bear fair drawing on exibitors and visitors from all over the UK. It is both the 2nd largest fair and the most accessable in the UK. It has everything going for it in normal times. Let's not lose it for want of our support now.
To underwrite this appeal, I can confirm that Teddy Bear Fair.com will be advertised in the new WI magazine 'WI Life' which will be sent to each of their 205,000 members in February. We all know their interest in both crafts and outings. 40,000 members of The Townswomens Guild have already seen our advert. We must have more entries in the 'Events' section if we are to attract new interest in what we do. People need to see and touch and be seduced by our little characters.
Think positive, think 'outside the box' maybe here is the opportunity for two or three people to share a table. Maybe for clubs to exhibit together. Who knows, I'm sure that all sorts of things could be possible, sharing travel costs as well.
Come on, let's sort this problem out quickly, get the message out to anyone and everyone that could be interested. Now is the time for 'Bear Power'.
Good luck
Chris
