I too found the new layout OK. I found the bring and buy stall layout better as it was easier to see the bargains as they were more spread out than usual.
Now a confession..
I wanted a mains transformer for a project amplifier I plan to build. I looked for a suitable scrap chassis or set and came away from the B&B with a GEC B.C 5645 for £4. It was dirty the back was hanging off and two of the knobs had trims missing.
I got it home and planned to remove the mains transformer and any other useful bits.
However I felt sorry for it and gave it a bit of a clean and then a bit of a polish and then a bit of power.. needless to say it didn't work!
I have spent most of the day repairing the chassis but that may be a story for a different thread...
It just shows what good value for money this hobby is a whole days fun for £4!
Thanks to all who devote their time to arranging these meetings !

Rich
