Thats all right Reg, it just meant I had to pick up all my own 69ers to see if they were a long seat version... :D

Tim, Jason and Bob all turned up so the forum was well represented. Probably wont be able to do Brentwood but Sandown for me should be ok!

Windsor went very well despite the very cold windy conditions and more on site parking issues which makes me pull my hair trying to resolve... :evil:

The next Windsor will be Saturday September 28 and I managed to secure the whole hall so we will be back to the old Montem sports centre size of a toy fair.

Actually, it will be the first I've ever been to.

I would love to see you Bwian at Windsor as its always nice to see forum members in the flesh...FULLY CLOTHED OF COURSE!!

Likewise Tim, it goes without saying you will be most welcome at Windsor.

Dealer/traders get a free parking pass and excellent table rates which I am always monitoring to make sure I give value for money. Loading your stock in and out of the hall is easy and very flat, unlike Montem SDports Centre where the entry/exit has very uneven badly maintained stepps and the same doors were used for dealers and the public so became rather conjested at packing up time. None of those issues at Windsor.

Currenty a 6 x 2.3 tressle table is £33 and you get an exact same size free back-up table for that so really it is two for the price of one!

I can take bookings right away, just PM me or when anyone is sure they want to attend. Sometimes you can just turn up on the day with your stock and accept what I have left but it may then only be a solitary table which is fine for clearing out some of your surplus collectibles. but not if you are more of a dealer as one table won't suit you.

Saturday September 28th for the next Windsor with all 8 badminton courts booked so it will be similar in size to what Montem used to be.

Kevin.
