The Mitchell.....

Post by mallog » Mon May 22, 2006 4:36 pm

It's ages since I have been to the Mitchell can any of the regular visitors tell me if it is still as difficult to get on a reader or is there a booking system now. It always seemed so busy. Is it just a case of getting there as early as possible? It has really put me off going there as I don't like fighting folk for a place !!

Lots of new readers have been installed on the 2nd floor - I never have a problem at any time.

Hi Mallog

Does that mean you have hay sticking out of your lever arch file instead of a pencil.

My wife is hatching plans for our first visit so there might be two similar folders.

Pencil behind ear and straw in mouth. Its all these people that gets me :shock: . Three's a crowd in Kilbarchan.
