a postcode/location for the satnav and I will do my best to be there with a few bring and buys but looking for something special.

Convince me!!!!!!!

Flyer e-mailed

The Bring and Buy area will be much bigger/less crowded at this fayre as we will use the stage area previously used for the bell target competitions

See pics of previous fayre for sample of guns usually available


600 miles is quite a trip so to complete your birthday treat if you are into cars, then there is a saloon car race meeting at Donnington (2 miles up the road) on the Sunday plus their Motor Sport museum is worth a visit.


Calke Abbey (Nat. Trust) is well worth a visit at Ticknall (House and Gardens). Ticknall is 2 miles from Melbourne - plus a Sunday lunch/meal at 'The Wheel' in Ticknall village is recommended - a treat for your lady. They have a website for tel. number to book.

There is also Kedleston Hall (also NT). It is 17 miles NW of Derby (House and Gardens) and is worth a visit if you are travelling this far north

The gardens are also open at Melbourne Hall in the village

Hope to see you on the day
