Hello All,

This Sunday, 19th June is the annual BIG Wellington Swapmeet here in New Zealand. This is the biggest swapmeet in NZ - looking like 80 tables again this year.

We're moving to a new, much nicer venue this time:

Chilton St. James School Hall,
Waterloo Rd.
Lower Hutt

There's ample parking along Waterloo Rd, and it is a short walk from both Waterloo/Hutt Central railway station and Westfield Queensgate Mall (if the better half fancies a spot of shopping).

Doors open at 11am - see you there!

Cheers,
Gavin

I'm going! What about you other kiwi board members?
It would be good to see some overseas members too. We will even accept Aussie's.
This is a top quality toy fair. 80 tables of decent collectable die cast. None of the modern rubbish.

Cheers, Steve

I'll be there and I'm just hoping you've got your act together and pre-booked my usual 3 tables! (haven't heard from Tony re this)

Naturally I'll be there Steve and I assume some of the usual Aussies will be there like Pier Van Netten... I'm just sorting out some nice Dinky, some Lesney Giftware and early YYs, some Welsh and UK tin plate and the usual odds and sods by Corgi, Solido, Bang, etc Hope you've got some spare cash on you :D

BTW I have a nice paper calendar/height chart (metric) from the 70s or 80s you might want to look at - it came in a bag of 1-75s I bought from an older woman who was clearing out some "junk"...
