An enjoyable day meeting back up with good friends, but quite frankly a terrible day for traders!
I suppose it's due to the economy, ( or lack of advertising ) but the public just don't seem to attend these smaller shows at the moment.
not that impressed either when club/ society members who were invited were then asked to pay an entrance fee as well. I have already heard of 2 clubs that are considering not going next year!!!
Clubs and Traders make the shows, at least try to treat them with some respect! This is not a money making exercise, but to get kids and Joe Public interested in a very interesting and enjoyable hobby.
The competition tables were rather empty, but what was on show definately made up for it.
Congratulations to Frank Collins, Gerry Larkin ( our mate Gary!
) and Rob Henson on their awards
they were very well deserved, it would be nice to see a few Chappettes in there as well.
