    I see 9:30 for people with tables but does anyone know the start time for the rest of us? I am presuming 10?

    In the TERM & CONDITIONS I received its states:

    Set up from 10.00am.
    Fair Open to the public from 10.30am.

    That was my understanding too Ian.

    There were some grumbles about the set up time being reduced from an hour to 30 mins, but from those fayres I was involved with in the past 30 mins would have been more than enough. The extra time just increased the opportunity for one or two less scrupulous sellers to try and do some "before show trading" which we tried to discourage seeing it as unfair to the public coming through the door. It also engendered some bad feeling when seller X bought an item and then had it on their table half an hour later for a significantly higher price.

    30 mins should be enough to get your table sorted. After all its not Tesco.
    Plus if another trader buys something after the event is open to the public then sells it on his own stall later for profit, well . As long as the original seller got his asking price (and it wasn't me) .

    I hope you all have a good time up in the Frozen North.

    I sometimes wish we had stayed in the Midlands which was handy for everywhere ,except the sea.
    Now we have the sea and everything else is a damn long way away!

    Its was great to meet up with some 'old' faces today.

    Even I managed to pick up one of the best Webley pistols Ive seen for a long time http://smg.photobucket.com/user/Airs...ml?sort=4&o=55 and I nearly got a free Drulov DU10.

    Looking forward to the next one.
