Tinsnthings naafi

we were there!! we had an agreement in writing with the organisers that we would be the only general stores on site! we wanted to keep it traditional with over the counter service full costume and war time layout..... we organised over £4000 of news papers for the site and it was my mission to rid the site of the 25p charge on top of every paper as was last year in the modern corner shop affair!! we spent £1000's on our set up to look the part and be as authentic as possible, when we arrived to set up two shops making access easier across site we found the modern convenience store unloading an 11 tonne lorry into the store!! we took the agreement in writing to the organisers and they said if you dont like it dont trade, they also increased the agreed pitch fee by £600!! they had in front of them the contractual agreement, i pointed out they where breaking the law and they repeated well you don't have to trade!! i said with this third store in the main arena i would not even break even and they said that was my problem!!!!! so no we will not be there! in fact we have had to cut our losses and leave haven been spoken to like dirt and once again let down by the show. such a shame was so looking forward to the whole event had really gone to town with authenticity

hi we are a travelling naafi stores providing groceries tobacco and news at events with a war time theme, full costume and over the counter service at reasonable prices.
