A quick update for those planning to go to the International Birmingham Arms Fair prior to making their way to Melbourne on June 16^th, I went last Sunday for a recce.

Opening Times:
08.45-09.45... Dealer and keen collector preview (£7)
10.00-15.00... Open admission (£4)

Journey time to Melbourne: 35-40 minutes, 30 miles. (M42/A42/B587)

What's there?
It is a large event with perhaps 150 stalls. Mainly de-acts and militaria, but there were several stalls dedicated to airgunners, some pre-war BSA's, a few Webley Service rifles, plenty of Webley pistols.

Henry Krank's had a stall, as did E.J.Blackley & Son who have a good selection of their own finishing products. So if you have something particular in mind it might be worth a call beforehand so that you can pick the item up?

I had an enjoyable hour wandering around and think it would make a nice warm up for the main event.

You are a boon of useful info Nick oh airborne trucker . Myself, MegawoolyMally and the newly banned Sockless one will pay the extra and be in at the start.

If you can get to Birmingham on the Saturday afternoon before the two fairs, it might be worth considering a trip straight up the A34 from the Premier Inn to visit the gun-quarter. There's not a lot to see anymore but some of the buildings are of interest and you could have a drink at the Bull on Price Street. You will be drinking in the lunchtime hostelry of generations of gunmakers. Maybe Westley-Richards might let you look around their showroom if they are open. It's out of this world - never seen blueing or woodwork like it! The Birmingham Armoury near the Town Hall is the last proper gunshop in the City Centre and worth a visit.
