    I initially saw the set at the last Kempton but the price put me off. I'm delighted to have negotiated a reduction at Brum though.

    Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in

    David Lewis had that one. He was back to back with Tim Dyson.

    I went along yesterday with a couple of mates. It was a good fair, but just for a bit of balance, out of the hundred ish tables, around 6 -8 were airgun centred.

    As I say, good fair and I enjoyed it.

    I only found about 4 tables of interest but I'm not overly interested in vintage stuff.

    Excuse my stupidly but when they say on the website preview 8.30 til 10am, does that mean you can view the tables but can't buy until after ten, I hadn't read the website properly and saw doors open 10am and was a bit shocked when I got there at 9.55 and had trouble parking the car and the place was heaving.

    The doors open at 8.30am and trading starts then. I think its a higher entrance fee between 8.30 and 10.00 am. It's quite a rush for us to get set up by 8.30am as we only have just over an hour to do it. Regards Tim

    I think traders should have enough time to set up, grab a bacon roll and relax before the public flock in.

    I never realised that, that'll teach me for not reading the advert properly.

    Yes I'm pleased I made the effort last week.

    I only counted 6 airgun traders, so may have missed a couple. Compare that with Kempton, where we are truly spoilded if there is such a word. Actually I have no idea how many of the traders at Kempton specialise in airguns. At a guess, there must be at least 15 + a few casuals that don't do every fair. Most bring a huge selection with them.

    Just over 2 weeks until the final KP of the year!
