    Its a more general fact that there is support for lots of different types - Historically it was pottery and brewing - but now it has the University for the Creative Arts, and an arts centre in what was the Maltings, but to quote from the Judges Their perception was of “a town full of makers and making at all levels, across all craft forms and in a huge range of spaces.

    Must admit I was surprised - didnt even know we had put in an application

    Judging by some of the folk I saw in Barnsley town centre last time, I think we've been given a World Of Warcraft status...

    FR - I`ve stopped in Farnham a couple of times at the big hotel in the middle of town.
    Obviously only seen the highlights but it seems like a very nice part of the world!
    (Also had a late night drinking session in the Con Club)
