Having been involved in the birth of this, and Jaffa coincidentally being in Greatworth colors, we are going to try and make this, in combination with RS day at Oulton.C

That's great Clive. We'll start a box of your old parts for you to stand behind.

Do you want me to put something in the next issue of the magazine? I'll be sorting the News pages in 10 days.

Oh yes please Keith, since I started this swap meet operation thing I'm a bit out of the loop so confirmation of when and exactly where would be very useful, mainly because my own little project has taken off now and I'm going to need quite a lot of stuff, I'm saving hard. What does surprise me is the amount of interest this forthcoming swap meet has gathered, and further, why the heck wasn't one instigated a lot sooner. Anyway it's coming and that's great.

Well done, all. Neil's day at BS M/sport earlier in the year was great, and really pleased to see this has sparked some enthusiasm for the more 'traditional' methods of exchanging parts and money. The fact it is just down the road from me is a bonus. Well done Angus for hosting.

Mikey you are welcome. Please bring some cash and some goodies. Nick Fulljames is going to bring some stuff following his move too. We'll publish a list of sellers on here nearer the time.

Hi Dave. We'll run a list and occasionally post it on here as its a DDK event. There should be a pitch charge of some sort to put a value on it with the the revenue going to charity.
Is there a preferred charity?
For sellers we say £10 for a car and £20 for a truck or trailer? We will also send the kids round with a bucket on the day.

This will be soooo good!
Far enough to be a good run out, subject matter perfect (as the Husborne Crawley ones were) and a return to look, feel and pay!

I've lost when and exactly where, would like to go to the venue anyway before hand.
