Hi Dawn F, 

Alternatively there are 2 other car parks not a million miles away which I am told are less expensive. One is in King Street, Hammersmith and the other is near the Hammersmith Apollo (underneath hammersmith flyover).

Both are a short distance away from Olympia (about 15/20 minute brisk walk) or a short bus ride. It could be a trek though if fully laden.

At least Chelsea FC aren't at home which can cause congestion. Mind you it would be useful if wanted to experience what it is like to see blue clad knuckledraggers and the prawn sandwich brigade side by side. :rofl:

I was wondering about parking I haven't booked anything and had considered parking on a meter near my friends house in Holland Road but not sure, I thought that if I wasn't parked too close I might not spend too much money!

I will be going, its usually a good day out and have even got my tickets in advance. Saves you having to queue. Rely on the trains and usually have lunch at the local pub.

I love the stalls and always support Africat that has a stall their, as 2 years ago I went and helped out in Namibia with them working with Cheetahs. 

May bump into one or two or you there then?

Yes! I am going! :) And I can say I'm going because I'm not exhibiting!  ;D

Just going with my best mate for a good day out and to give some moral support to some folks I know who are exhibiting. Should be fun!  :)

I hope to be there. It's so expensive to park and I need to be close by as usually fully laden. :yesss:

So much to support. I will always go to support Celia Hammond Animal Trust and Cat Action Trust 1977 and various others.

I'm going to try. Due to all of us being away at Christmas the family are having Christmas Lunch on Saturday, and Sunday I have friends over, but if I can snag it I will try.

We've got to pick up the wonderful cat tree we ordered from Cat Palaces, so I was hoping to get to the National.  ;D

However, as OH is going to London that day anyway with a mate to see Gary Numan (LOL!!!) and I did spend rather a lot at the Supreme, he said he will collect the tree and that I don't really need to go - spoilsport!  :P
