    We (Rivington Riflemen) did a similar fair a few months ago (http://www.airgunbbs.com/showthread....ight=Adlington) in aid of Cancer Research and in memory of my pal Ray Ross.
    Like the Melbourne event which I have attended a few times, it was a great day out. I bought some bargains, sold some tat , had a great laugh and even got some one with the 'smelly grease' trick.

    Go for it!

    Luckily we had a club member heavily involved in his local community centre. We just had to persuade him, with threats of violence and my jokes, and bingo!

    Sorry for the delay, The date of Saturday 26th November at the Royal British Legion in Melbourne is ''cut in stone''

    I am not a member or involved in anyway with this great event, just passing on the good news....

    Hmm.

    There are plenty of clubs around here with clubhouses and indoor range attached for added floorspace that would be ideal.

    This is only 8 miles from me, so it'd be almost rude not to go along! See you there.
    You only have one body to live in, look after it.
