Thank you, Mark and helpers for another great show / get together. All those of you who missed it will have to wait until November 22 09 for the next one. Well worth making a note in your diary! John.

Another excellent get together! Definitely the best event that I attend. A chance to meet several forum friends, and a long chat with Ed Dinning who provided me with much food for thought.

All thanks to Mark and family and everyone else who provided support.

See you in November!

Dave

May I take this opportunity to say a big thank you too all the stall holders and folks that attended this event. Big thanks go to Mike Barker and the BVWS for allowing the event, the trolley dollys, tinkerbell and bodge it and scarper, for making a very enjoyable event.

The panic is worth it!

cheers Mark

ps see you all in November!

Thanks to the organisers and helpers, especially Dave Moll on the bring-and-buy who sold a couple of woodies for me that I did not have room in the car to take home. A good day out, with an excellent display of working 405 televisions and TV camera equipment.

Another enjoyable day. The B&B was fairly quiet (ten items entered, five of which sold) - but at least that left me freer to wander round the rest of the event than when I was running my own stall last autumn. I even had the opportunity to endulge in nostalgia on the TV display with excerpts from the Flower Pot Men and Woodentops, along with other childhood favourites as Fireball XL5 and Lost in Space.

Thank you to the organisers.

Another excellent event, got a 30's speaker and cabinet, a signal generator, some small components and put faces to some names, so many thanks to all who helped organise it.

Thanks

John
