    Ladies Free

    Nothing worse than having to pay for the Mrs when going to an Arms Fair, so accompanied Ladies have free entry to all Kempton Fairs

    It might make the difference to being allowed to go too

    You need to tread carefully round the subject, Pete. When we had a glut of apples I was giving them away at Melbourne 18 months ago.

    I had to advise the customer I'd just sold a minty Improved Britannia not to show it to his wife with the words 'And I got you a bag of apples, love'. Open mouth, insert foot?

    Well done with the event. I shall try to get for it.

    ATB, Mick

    Hello Pete,

    It will be challenging to exceed the success of the previous Kempton events, but that won't be the first time Iv'e said that only to find that once again you've managed to do just that.

    Look forward to attending the March fair and have no doubt there will once again be something for everybody to drool over and maybe even make their own.

    My wife remarked at breakfast we ought to take a vacation and go to England and time it so I can experience one of your major shows. Look out, next year there may be a Yank trying to grab those finds first and then try getting them out of the country?

    A request for those coming to sell at Kempton:

    One of the things I miss about the Bisley arms fairs was the abundance of literature. I know that some dealers would often bring old catalogues and manuals to Bisley and whilst some bargains could be had, these 'smalls' were essential for research too.

    So if you're coming to sell at KP on 25 March, please remember any old, spare or unwanted airgun related literature. I'm after Webley, BSA, post 1954 Crosman and Milbro related items but I'm sure there would also be a demand for others such as German or even early Gamo material.

    See you there.

    John

    We are wary of Dutchmen coming up the Thames.
