I think i'll try and pop along as well...it would be nice to meet up with Mr.Waff and Mr.Mick again.....and would be a good chance to catch up with anyone else going.

122 miles north, sheesh... ill make sure to wrap up warm....but i never really know whether its obligatory to be drunk and have heart disease being that far north? ...anyone help ;-)

Thanks for the replies Guys, 113 miles North for me too, I agree with Richard B,checklist : passport, visa, jabs against anything nasty and a local phrase book ! :laugh: :laugh:
Seriously though, does anyone think that it is worth a fairly long trip from an ordnance point of view ? Tony.

 

[RichardB]

Well.....the advert I saw said it was the largest internal miliaria collectors fair in Europe..with 350 stands. Now Im sure theres some exaggeration....but did anyone go last year

Is it worth going?

Rich

 

[RichardB]

Well Ill definitely be there on the Sunday
(The Saturday being open only for traders or those with trader friends

Who else is going and which day....?????

I gave it some thought but decided it was too far on the off-chance. FYI, bbc weather forcast for CV8 2LZ for Sun is heavy rain and 5 deg C max ! hope the Q outside is not too long ! Tony.
