fv1609 Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Yes I'll be there in TUL(HS) with some stuff to sell. I think it's meant to be a better day than today. Some bits that have been seen before (!) & some that's not. Although each time there is always someone who buys something I have been lugging around for years who seems delighted to find it for the first time!

snowtracdave Posted October 25, 2009 Author Share Posted October 25, 2009 Well - after my alarm went off at 5.20 this morning (proving that the automatic time update on my phone did not work) I found myself wide awake and having established what the time really was I left here at ten past six and headed for sunny Berkshire . Arrived at the farm just on 8.25 and virtually the first person I saw as I drove in was Nick Johns . Spent a very pleasant few hours looking round and making a couple of small purchases before taking my leave and setting out for home . Not a huge number of stalls but some interesting bits on offer and some quite reasonable prices too . Nick pointed you out to me Clive but you were deep in conversation and I didn't like to intrude, I'll make myself known another time .

ford 369 Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 you must have been the car behind me as I arrived at about 8.25 as well and one of the first people I saw was Nick Johns,then walked around all the stalls and was convinced there was nothing I needed but with a few more trips round I managed to fin several bren ammo boxes 10 bren mags an SRD jar bren supplementary poches and a 30 cal box Nigel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowtracdave Posted October 26, 2009 Author Share Posted October 26, 2009 Dark blue X type estate - Nick said that you'd met up but couldn't see you to point you out to me , sorry I didn't get to say hello . I know what you mean about the stalls - each time I went round I saw something that hadn't been there previously or a new stallholder had arrived and set up . Here's a couple of pics of the very nice Dodge that appeared mid morning . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ford 369 Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 I am pretty sure that dodge is very local and belongs to a couple who we met in Normandy several years ago the first time we stayed at Ivy House in st marie du mont Nigel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
50 cal ( † RIP † ) Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 i dont know if it was just gossip but did someone get barred for being there early and buying bargains??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowtracdave Posted November 2, 2009 Author Share Posted November 2, 2009 I overheard one of the stallholders saying that he had just been banned. But can't tell you any more than that as I don't know who he was . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But can't tell you any more than that as I don't know who he was . Wonder if that was the stallholder who bought up lots of baragain Jeep parts early morning and then later put them up for sale on his pitch, of course at a much higher price!

commander Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 I heard that 3 people were banned from coming again a bit over the top I think personally but it is up to the organisers who can come and who cannot come I suppose Commander Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
50 cal ( † RIP † ) Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 isnt that what they call buisness isnt that how we survive perhaps he was the one who made the effort and got his ass out of bed or did he just get the bargain that the banner wanted all this and we dont even know who the banner and the banned are someone must know who they are!!!!

Adrian Barrell Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 If someone bought all the 'bargains', he must have paid what was being asked. If he subsequently put them up for sale at a higher price, nobody was forced to buy them so banning him seems a bit OTT. However, greed is apparent in many facets of this and every hobby.
