    ...Edit: anightrains also booked a table
    I thought this was going to be a small affair, now looks like being a similar size to last summer's Fayre! I might need to save a few more pennies in anticipation.

    Good to see Brian's booked a table, long time no-see.

    guns for sale

    Can those selling on the day pm me or post on the thread a list of some or all of the rifles/pistols they intend to bring. This should give a flavour of just what's on offer on the 15th

    Thanks

    Hi John,

    I will kick this off with these;

    Maybe a couple more when I have a dig

    Obviously everybody should be aware it is bad form to contact via PM etc. before an event like this, I will not answer any such messages, if you see anything you may like on this post, or on subsequent posts by other sellers attending, then get there early on the day!

    Best Regards John,


    Ed

    Many thanks for the pics Ed. I am looking forward to seeing these.

    I have just had a pm from another collector who is going to bring along around 30 airguns from his collection to sell

    I will not list each rifle/pistol but these include a collection of:

    Early Air Arms rifles

    Japanese and American pneumatic rifles

    German, American and Spanish pistols

    Old BSAs

    and quite a few others

    He attended our previous fayres and I have to say his prices were very good and the condition of his guns was excellent

    Don't forget to bring along a rifle for the bell target competition, we do have a club 300S if you forget.

    After seeing those offerings I'm definitely going to have to make the effort.

    Back permitting I look forward to meeting a few of you.

    I can almost walk to the Bike museum on the sunday

    Hi John
    I recognise some of the table holders names, and a fine bunch of Gentlemen they are too, but I just wondered about Chris?
    Is he the same Chris that represents England in Olympic track and field, you know, about 6ft tall, around 10 stone and tee-total?

    Young chris

    That sounds like the boy.

    Not sure about the Olympic track and field these days, but he still stubbornly abstains from drink, sex and other worldly pleasures to maintain his handsome body which is honed and toned to perfection (I'm told).

    Got a couple of medals over the years, mainly in the Pie-Athlon, I think
