Default Re: Rusbridge's Up North Auctions 2019

Mister Dinning (and all other grand-dads!), please do bring along your grandson if he'd like a slightly eccentric day out. We could do with someone to help reduce the average age a bit. If he gets bored he can be in charge of taking the sheets from the auctioneer to the office. The office may have a secret stash of sweets. Start the little ones young and they'll see what we do as completely normal. If he turns into a Wireless Boffin I'm sure he'll be well supplied with useful items from older people who don't want their little treasures flogged off at some awful auction after they've gone. My friend's son is ten, and he loves old Hornby O Gauge toy trains from eighty years ago. He's been given all sorts, and bought many things for about half what they're really worth! (It's me who has to restore any damage, so I see lots of his new arrivals, and I'm buying so many spares that I'm seriously thinking of buying the whole spares company!)
