Bit further than Bisley for me and so close to Sister in Law that Mrs Gingernut might demand a lift.
Any tips on hiding recently purchased airguns in a modest size vehicle?

Personally I think the lack of section 1 firearms is a big problem for the fair and would prevent me driving nearly 300 miles to go there.
Maybe a second event at Wetherby racecourse would be worth consideration?
BTW I used to take a table at the Bisley shows selling cast boolits but gave up die to the costs involved - I know Pukka Bundhooks also quit the shows for the same reason.
Perhaps you ought to TELL the Chief Exec of the NRA why you stopped coming --- if you read his page in the current NRA Journal you would think that everyone was happy --- and (just a coincidence?) when he quoted MY complaint he "forgot" to add the VAT -- so £200 per table was actually £240 -- and most small dealers are not VAT registered!
He actually told me that "as I was not happy he was instructing the Commercial Manager to take my name off the list" .... NICE!
Hopefully with Surrey Police's positive attitude the next fair might have s.1 and s.2?
Wedge long strips of silver/grey plumbers pipe insulating foam across the inside of all your car's doorways. Then once you've done your 'shopping' at Binner's Bash, wrap your contraband in the sponge foam tubes and replace in all the car's door ways, and tell your good lady as you set off from home that the tubes (empty at this point unless you are carrying 'trades' to sell/swap) are roll-bars for extra safety for when driving among all them heathen nutters on the M25 darrrrn sarrrrf, like. Simples.

Hello Pete,
Not sure if there will be an Arms Fair associated with the Phoenix in May or Imperial meeting at Bisley in July, but either way this will fit nicely in between.
Hope to see you there if not before.
Brian
Nobody seems to know when or if there will be any fairs at Bisley for certain, which is a real shame, nowhere has the same feel or atmosphere. It's a bit like the old Wembley Stadium.
If the KP event is supported, there could be 4 per year. I am doing all I can to get this up and running, not easy, not cheap, but £4 entry shouldn't break the bank.
So far about 10 tables are booked, 6 miltaria, 2 A/G RFDs and 2 Private collectors with a varied assortment of vintage and sub 12ft/lb rifles.
Well done Pete, I'm sure it will be a great day.

....Wonder if "Bruce" and "Hus" will be there?!!...Lol!
Maybe we should wear a BBS sticker on our lapels to eye ball each other?

I've had Good deals & great info from many in this forum.
Outrageous suggestion.

Wonder how many of us still got theirs ?
