Melbourne 16th March

[Binners]

As some will know, I am banned from posting on AGF for promoting events like the above. So for the benefit of my friends that organise/help on the dark side, I have copied details below.

'I have been informed that the spring Airgun Collectors Fair at Melbourne will be held on Sunday March 16th. It isn`t BIG like events at the NEC or Kempto .
It is held in the Derbyshire market town of Melbourne at the village assmbly rooms...
think large village/town hall.
Its indoors in 3 rooms, with around 25 tables stocked with all things airgun shooting, mostly older classic and collectable airguns, but some modern suff too. Also lots of epmemera and accessories.... books, scopes, silencers, pellets. On site are toilets and a cafe.
Well worth a visit.
Doors open at 10 am for buyers, and it1s all over by 1.00 pm `ish so get there early.
Melbourne Assembly Rooms, High st., Melbourne, Derbyshire , DE73 8GF.'

Good luck with this excellent event.

I hope someone can take a few pics so the rest of us can see what we could have bought.

From previous reports, many collectables and bargains can be found at this wonderful fair.

Hi Mark.

Would/could someone (from the club) take some decent pictures to show on the Forums....I used to do it with my old camera...it really does make a difference.Just ten minutes of snapping away before the door's open to show members what they have missed and recording things for posterity.It also promotes the event for the next Fair later in the year....it's raised thousands of pounds for charity over the years....this needs "promoting" too.....

It only recently occurred to me that I can post pictures in this section from an image hosting site, so I will do something similar to what I did on the 'other place' from the last fair and put a little gallery up; I might even catch that rogue who wears the natty hat...

I saw those photos and I think I know who you mean about that rogue! don't like the look of him at all and certainly wouldn't buy a gun from him

Hey you cheeky young whippersnapper, less of the `rogue`.
I will have a quiet word with you on the day.
Love and peace .

Pete `the hat`.

A quick "bump" for this next Fayre....with reference to what might be there...you just never know? The only way to find out is to visit in person and take a look.In the fifteen years the club has been up and running thousands have been raised for good causes and the Fayre's just get bigger and better year on year.

Wow is that you Chris?

Welcome back buddy I’ve not been on for a few months and recently catching up with the craic

Hope you are doing well mukka?

It’s been too long since I last went the MM Fayre, out of interest folks do many stall holders carry spare parts?

I’ve got a few projects on the go all Weihrauch and my parts list is huge

Ey up fella,

Yes it is me....

I've been given another chance and keeping my head down....there are always a few spares kicking around but your best bet would be to maybe list what you want a week before the Fayre (on here) and stall holders will bring them along if they can help you out.If a collector is selling up with say 20+ airguns it's quite a task for them to bring and set up their stall...so they might not bring everything they have.

I remember going to I.J.'s Fayre ooop north....I had nearly a thousand airgun magazines to sell....i'd collected them avidly over the years and had pretty much full set's of the three/four publications....all sorted into year's....drove there transported/carried to my stall...sat there for five hours...didn't sell any....lesson learnt.!! Spares can be the same...you could take a skip full and someone would want the "thing" left at home....

That’s a good idea Chris, I might get a list sorted nearer the time just incase anyone spots something I might need
