CMP-Phil Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 (edited) Hi Do you have a website for the event? Reason I ask is like to include interesting events which are 5 to 6 months out in our local MV club newsletter. Gives our local members a feeling for what's going on around the world. Never know when someone will be traveling. Should probably say our local club draws it's members from New England and eastern Canada.

Hoseman Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Just a heads up on this event. ive been going for a few years now and it is a great show. Fascinating location and well run. Loads to do and see, well organised, good bunch of guys n gals. As Commander says, no real need to book, unless you do have any special requests or needs, just turn up and set up. I go Friday afternoon, set up tent and displays then get to the traders for bargains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
