I am just back from 3 weeks on holiday in Spain so this
year I did not get to the show which I organise.
By all accounts the show went well in my absence. Numbers thru the door were slightly up at
approx 700. I decided to use some space
in the reception area for more trade stands and we allowed some traders
associated with displays and this gave us 6 additional traders for a total of
40.
Quality of items on the B&B I am told were better this year and speaking to some members
of the Falkirk club last night they certainly picked up some amazing bargains.
The award for best diplay went to Dave Imrie's The Eagle roman skirmish game and RAF Leuchar's superb carrier attack game won the best Public Participation award.
Seems that people enjoyed the day and the feedback
from traders has been relatively positive.
Next year’s show will be on Saturday 2nd August at the same
venue.

You need a better holiday plan for next year Bill. Your absence on the day was glaring. Just as well that the lads did a good job though!
ReplyDeleteI actually made it up this year Bill. Shame that we couldn't cross paths but I'll be up for next years show though i expect that we'll meet at Partizan or the like prior to that?
