That was my understanding too Ian.

There were some grumbles about the set up time being reduced from an hour to 30 mins, but from those fayres I was involved with in the past 30 mins would have been more than enough. The extra time just increased the opportunity for one or two less scrupulous sellers to try and do some "before show trading" which we tried to discourage seeing it as unfair to the public coming through the door. It also engendered some bad feeling when seller X bought an item and then had it on their table half an hour later for a significantly higher price.

30 mins should be enough to get your table sorted. After all its not Tesco.
Plus if another trader buys something after the event is open to the public then sells it on his own stall later for profit, well . As long as the original seller got his asking price (and it wasn't me) .
