15th May 2012 

We regret that in future we have to make a charge towards postage for mail order bears. We've avoided this for 12 years despite many price rises. On May 1st. Royal Mail increased their charges enormously, items weighing 1 kg. going from £2.20 to £3.50. Packaging is still free and if you buy from QVC, they often charge £4.75 for small bears.
Till we can add postage to each bears description page, we will contact customers about charges.

On a more pleasant note the Minstead Fair was well attended and we were delighted to see many old friends there, who all seemed to enjoy themselves.
The Bears up for NTBAA awards were beautiful and Bruins Brewins who organise these shows and the National Competition are to be congratulated.
The next fair is On July 8th. at Leatherhaed Leisure Centre, just off the M25 in Surrey. This is a new nenue and looks very nice.
