Saturday again


One week on after the launch of our shop Time Was... and with the disappointment of the cafe behind us we set to work to entice the Newark shoppers upstairs. Using fancy dress from our friends at 'Chuckles' the fancy dress hire shop in the Buttermarket we dressed as Mr Spock from Star Trek, complete with beard, (no time to shave it off!) and Captain Jack Sparrow, also complete with full beard, and we set off where no man has gone before.... into the clutches of the passing shoppers enticing them with Billy, an inflatable Dalek, and home produced flyers. Sad isn't it that the wives have named the Dalek, it's not as if he's from the Cult of Skaro!!

We think it was successful, we were a lot busier today than on opening day, though perhaps poundage was down. But more people now know we are here.
