    Too many guns, or not enough time?

    Me and Ian aka IJ.
    will be there, we have lots of air guns and pellets scope mounts and the usual vintage stuff.
    Hope it's as popular with it being on a Sunday.

    Tis correct. With it being Sunday I'm having to miss attending church - but this event is well worth the sacrifice and Im sick of pumping that organ [Oooh - err - Mrs ] .

    See you there.

    The last one I went to , it had moved to a small Church Hall.
    Probably for more car parking.

    The last one was at Melbourne Assembly Rooms, the venue was changed because the Royal British Legion did not want to continue hosting the Melbourne Marksmen bell-target club.

    The assembly rooms turned out to be a much better venue with two rooms, more space for tables inside plus the additional parking outside.

    So is it at those Assembly Rooms again?
    It really should be because as a venue it was infinitely better to the RBL club

    An excellent collector's fair again - as usual, thanks to all concerned with the organisation and running of it!
    Free parking (if you get there early), refreshments and toilets.

    I picked up a beautiful pre-war BSA breakdown air rifle for a good price, which is exactly what I went looking for.
    Back home and it's shooting very strongly and surprisingly accurate, looking forward to a spot of iron sight HFT with it.

    It's well worth a visit for those who aren't sure.

    A great fair to visit with a large room full of airgun sellers to suit all pockets, including some very rare airguns.
