ICBW but I thought I saw a display of Saunders (and certainly an immense number of tents pitched) at
Notcutts garden centre on the Hatfield Road between St Albans and Hatfield. This is almost certainly
nowhere near any of the people looking to buy, but I mention it on the off chance.

They do get put up at demos every there and here. Also worth knowing is =

that they subsequently flog the demo tents for knock-down prices. If=20 you 'phone them then do ask:
I got a Mountain Trek for =A3140 rather than=
=20
=A3250 simply because it had been pitched for a day at a show. Bargain! Also some seconds (my
Snowcat, a modified Galaxy, was the last one they=20 had and had some rubber marks from pegging
loops on the fly. They sold=20 it to me at less than half usual retail).

Other handy tip in general for looking at tents is that campsites are a=20 good place to do it, and
folk are usually quite happy for you to have a=20 look if you ask. You can get some useful feedback
on pros and cons=20 while you're at it.

And at accepting constructive critisism! I thought Bob Saunders was gong to floor someone at one
show when a mention was made about exacltly the above, the weight of pegs.
