WA3 3HG Directions can be found here http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&...ed=0CBUQ8gEwAA This is a new venue for the event as there is a threat of closure on the previous venue. Table holders are very well represented, along with the Vintage TV display, bring and buy table and............a bar open from lunch time!!! The Trolly Dollys have again agreed to provide light refreshment, Steve P has a diagnosis and repair table and Murphymad (BVWS chairman) et al will again be present to support the event.

General entry from 930am there is a small admission charge. Any questions contact me by PM please, if you need to phone ask me for my mobile number by PM as the landline is currently U/S. See you there! Cheers Mark |

Re: BVWS North West Swap Meet
I visit and speak regularly on the phone to forum member '60 Oldjohn' who unfortunately hasn't been able to access the forum for some months as he cannot get a reliable broadband internet connection. John lives in a sparsely populated area and his situation typifies the problems which beset residents in such areas.
However, I'm pleased to report that John will be attending the Golborne Swapmeet and will be having a table there, so anyone who might wonder what's happened to him and who might wish to renew their acquaintance with John will have an opportunity at Golborne. Looking forward to the event! David |

Re: BVWS North West Swap Meet
I too hope to attend; this will be my first radio meeting and I've already printed my name badge; put the snow tyres on the car and the snow chains under the drivers seat; OTT perhaps but at least I'm prepared.
I'm looking forward to meeting old friends and making new ones. Kind regards, Col. |
