Under normal circumstances, this weekend would have meant attending the Bisley Phoenix Arms Fair for many of us, which in all honesty has been a shadow of its former self since the NRA took control of the event and ceased holding fairs in the purpose designed Pavilion.

Nevertheless, many still attend and I would have enjoyed a natter and catch up with the usual crowd over the course of the weekend. I fondly remember when stalls were jam packed in the Pavilion and there were several tents outdoors as well as the Veranda all packed with vintage items for sale.

For those who can't wait for the next fair, I thought I'd share some images of the very first Kempton Park Arms Fair from 2017. I can't believe it was almost 3 years ago. The fair has grown from strength to strength thanks to Binners and his team but just take a look at the variety and quality that were present at that first fair.

Roll on the next one, when it is safe to do so.
