Topic Other Boards / Foo / Factory shop near Gundog of Wales show?
- By Star [in] Date 10.09.05 12:22 UTC
I am trying to get hold of some nice cheap matching jackets sizes 8 to 16/18 for the dog handlers who are in the Breeders stakes finals at Crufts. Someone told me that near the Gundog of Wales show (on a dual carriageway?)there is a factory outley which might be worth a look but I forgot the name. was trying to  google it but no luck. Can anyone help or suggest where I might try without spending a fortune. Have tried every shop in Telford. Biggest prob seems to be the difference in sizes I need. Three handlers are about sizes 8 to 10 but the other handler is a bit bigger. handler 5 is male but camn probably sort him out with shirt and tie that would match once I finally sort jackets out.
Thanks in anticipation.

Have you tried matalan?
Also Next to nothing - the next outlet for end of line stock?

Tried Matalan..nothing! Not heard of next to nothing, not one near us . Did try next but no sale at the moment so mega expensive. :(

Where is the show? Is it in North Wales? If so could it be the Tweedmill?

Usk, so South Wales.  Could it be the Outlet Centre at Swindon (the name of which I cant remember :rolleyes: ) I know it isnt near the show but is on the way.

Do you mean the McArthur Glen outlet centre at Bridgend?  Just off the motorway.

IMHO its one of those places where you might be lucky to get what you want and then again you might not.  Stock varies from day to day.

Good Luck.

Thats the one :D

Ive been there a couple of times but I dont think I have ever bought much.  I think they do have a next to nothing though, or they did about 5 years ago when I last went there :p

If thats the one I need, do you know how close it is to showground and what time it is open till?
- By ClaireyS Date 10.09.05 23:26 UTC
Pasted from their website > The centre is open Monday to Wednesday and Friday from 10am to 6pm , Thursdays 10am to 8pm, 10am to 7pm Saturday and 10am to 5pm Sunday (stores below 3,000 sq ft only - stores above this size will be open for browsing at 10.30am and for trading from 11am to 5pm).

If you look on their website there is actually one in Wales which might be closer to the show, if you click on the store and then how to find us it gives you a map.

Claire (who is off to bed or would otherwise go fetch the road atlas out of the car and see which one is nearest for you :) )

I live near the McArthur Glen outlet in Bridgend, the 'Next To Nothing' store has now closed.  There is also a factory seconds outlet (Called 'Labels' I think) which is nearer Monmouth!  Where in Wales is the Show?
- By Oldilocks [gb] Date 11.09.05 08:52 UTC
Sorry ClaireyS, I have just re-read the posts and noticed that you have already said that the show is in Usk. The Mc Arthur Glen factory outlet is a long way from Usk so it must be the 'Labels' store you mean!
- By Star [in] Date 11.09.05 11:38 UTC
thanks everyone..just found out that it is Labels so am now going to 'google' it  :)
- By pinklilies Date 12.09.05 20:06 UTC
Labels outlet is at Ross on Wye, and is situated on a roundabout very near to where the M50 joins the A449.
- By Star [in] Date 12.09.05 20:36 UTC
Thanks. if we get out of show  early enough I am going to have a look :)
