    Bl**dy Binners and his fair. I didn't get any sleep last night/this morning, never mind the night before the fair - such is my anticipation.

    It will also be good to meet up with members on here and have a proper natter about old airguns - nothing better!

    As I am going up as a trader, I have to get up at 4.00am on Sunday to load up the Van. I am not looking forward to this ) but at least I will get to look around before the fair opens. As long as it doesn't take too long to set up. :

    Going to have to give it a miss Pete, my fine friend. Tried EVERYTHING to get the ex to swap weekends and take my middle boy to his Swimmng Gala, but no can do.

    Hope you all enjoy yourselves, but similarly, I hope none of you get a real bargain, as I want them put to one side for the next fair that our Binners puts together, so that I can snuffle them up, instead.

    Anticipation!

    Pete, it WILL be an almighty success, 'tis written in the scrolls.........anyway I'll be there so what more do you want LOL. Modest, me?

    Just spent the week making sure all modes of transport are up and running, petroled up, oiltight and ready to roll, even dug out the bus pass just in case!
    If things got desperate I could yomp it in about 2 hours.

    I haven't been this excited since.....well you can't divulge all your secrets can you.

    See you there, Carl.

    Don't worry, if all fails I can give you a lift. I even washed the car today in preparation and checked the tyres on the bike

    Its a Honda not a Raleigh

    Having said that its piddling down here in SW London, perhaps the cars a better bet. But that traffic around Hampton Court?

    it will be a bit strange going to Kempton and not being surrounded by bits of old motorcycles!

    I'm already up, locked and loaded ready to leave with Bantam tank, Honda Bros rear cylinder and VF500 workshop manuals. Going to be a great bike jumble.
    Brought a few airguns along in case there are some fellow enthusiasts there.

    Jon,

    Apologies for not coming to say hello today. I saw you several times across all the thousands of airguns, but each time you were deep in conversation with someone, so I thought " maybe later", but ultimately we missed each other. Hope you had a great fair!

    Thumbs up

    Cheers Pete

    As John and Mel said, Fantastic event with great peeps, I enjoyed every minute of it and brought a Webely mk1 home that just needed a breech seal, Luckily I had one! And a Gamo PR45 that had a perished piston O ring, Both are working fabulously now!!

    PS, The mk1 was £60 and the Gamo was £10!!

    Yep, John is quite right. Binners, and Mrs Binners did a wonderful job, and delivered a fab fair. I have seriously never seen that many airguns in one place before. Good to meet the people I did, and to talk to so many like minded people. Hopefully if Peter hasn't had a major breakdown tonight, it can become a yearly event ? Wonderful stuff, and great to put faces to so many names.

    Well I enjoyed my day!
    Was able to learn a bit and also answer some questions about my own guns which was of the most value.
    Got to meet Chris Thrale who's Webley air rifles book I thumb to death and John Milewski who's Air gun World articles are a monthly treat, a thoroughly nice chap too.
    Also was able to meet and congratulate Binners on his making it happen.
    Hope all enjoyed it as much as I did and that there are many more.
    More to the point I hope the traders liked it and did well because without them turning up there'd be no fair at all.
