Kempton park militaria and air gun fair

[Gareth W-B]

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?

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.

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.

Mines the other way round, thankfully

Maybe we should wear a BBS sticker on our lapels to eye ball each other?

[gingernut]

Outrageous suggestion.
Who would talk to me once they knew I was Gingernut?

Thought I'd give this a bump !

There was real positive vibe in favour of this eagerly anticipated event among collectors and dealers at Birmingham arms fair yesterday, so certainly one to look forward to. Some dealers who never stalled at Bisley are making the journey down and one or two collectors are already looking at sharing tables for their surplus guns. Looks like it's time to get saving!

Thank you David for hosting the article, GUNMART and AirgunWorld have done the Fair and the sport proud, I did subscribe to 4 mags in total, but these are the only 2 that promoted it.

I can almost smell the bacon....
