Re: BVWS North West Swap Meet
Great timing Mark! I was calculating the best point to get home before Easter.
Now I have a deadine of the 5th. Don't want to miss Steve in residence. Will be there with my brother [driver and guest]. Lowton is a great venue. Hopefully no Blzzards this time. Dave W |

Re: BVWS North West Swap Meet
I will be there again, selling dodgy radios etc, as long as I can borrow/steal a vehicle larger than my 1964 Austin mini. http://www.minibandits.com/images/logos/smokin50.gif Oh how I miss my van. Steve.

Re: BVWS North West Swap Meet
I'll pm you Ed. I shall make an ID badge again despite the potential embarassment of being the only one. Perhaps this and an agreement to stay for a minimum period [within reason] should be an entry requirement?
Any thoughts? Don't take this toooo.... seriously [please!] Dave W |

Re: BVWS North West Swap Meet
I will be there again with a table of 1920s onwards parts and TV magazines. I can guarantee I will have a stock of everything except what you need. Pm me with any parts requirements and I will try and bring requests on the day. I will be one of many? wearing a name badge. John

Re: BVWS North West Swap Meet
I'll be there with some sort of badge so I can remember who I am - please give me a shout if you don't know me as I like to put faces to names.
Bosscock - you don't need to be defiant - we're quite a friendly lot! Ed PM on way to you

Re: BVWS North West Swap Meet
I also hope to be there - without a stall this time. But be warned - if there's another one in the autumn, I'll probably have had chance to sort out some more junk to get rid of by then.
Not having a stall will give me chance to spend more time looking round other people's offerings. Is there going to be a Bring & Buy? If so, I can probably help to staff it ... and find a few items to bring.

Re: BVWS North West Swap Meet
Hi all,
You're not thinking of another one around the end of sept/oct by any chance? We'll be back in Blighty then awaiting arrival of first grand-sprog and wouldn't mind a shufty with a wishlist in me 'and. We'll be staying somewhere between Warrington & Chester. Is it open to non-BVWS members clutching three quid in their hot sticky little mitts? Cheers de Pete
