Ross Aylward Posted October 14, 2005 Author Share Posted October 14, 2005 OK guys, Just checked, and there are 30 pre-booked pitches. The weather looks promising (I know, now I've mentioned it, it'll be out the window...) so hopefully some more will come on the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 Ross, I have had an idea, as I can't make it on sunday and to be honest, I am rather gutted by that. .............do you think that they could move it until next weekend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polecat paul Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 So did anyone get any bargains this weekend ,was there many people there,i wanted to go but it was a little bit to far from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oddball Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 There was a reasonable amount of people there who seemed to be having a good time. I personally didn't see any bargains but I wasn't looking for anything in particular anyway. Karoshi seemed to get tempted once or twice but managed to restrain himself. I think Paul that you would probably have been disappointed with the amount of stuff there had you travelled the 150 miles to get there.

polecat paul Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Good job i did'nt go then i hope malvern will be better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berni Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 i popped along but didn't get there till about 11 & then spent the next 2 hours chatting. I thought it was how a sale should be, it was a booty for MV owners & only a quid to get in & 5.oo to sell. realistic prices. there was a few stalls there & everyone has to start somewhere. Next year may be a little bigger. when malvern first started there wasn't enough stalls to fill 2 halls & now they use them all & made the pitches 2 ft smaller each to get more in. ta berni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgey Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 You missed some great bargains, a guy sold a brit para folding bike for £45, two Jeep engines went for £195 and I got a Dodge starting handle for £5 and pioneer rack for £5. My mate got a US footlocker £15 and US tools for £1 I thought it was excellent value for a Quid. Can't wait for the next one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Aylward Posted October 20, 2005 Author Share Posted October 20, 2005 Guys, The dig out went really well- unfortunately for you late comers the bargains went really early! We had just over 40 stalls- nearly all vehicle related- not almost all uniforms like at Malvern. Most of these were actual MV owners with their own spares to sell at realistic prices. 250 punters came through, so it was busy early on. Oddball must have been a late arrival, as I see from his photos that the car park (feild) was much emptier than at its peak. We hope to do another next year. :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polecat paul Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 So it might be worth me travelling 150 miles down to the next one then , well only if your making a brew for me trouble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oddball Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 Oddball must have been a late arrival, as I see from his photos that the car park (feild) was much emptier than at its peak. No, I was a late leaver which is when I took the photos. :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
commander Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 Hi guys first time poster on the forum but keep an eye on whats on some of us from up north way had a trip down to the boot sale I must agree it was good for the amount of stalls there but we got there just after 09.20. only to be told it had started just before 07.30. this would mean leaving home at 04.30. at least. I agree the price was very cheap to get in at a £1.oo.and the stall pitches of a £5.oo. were a bargain but to say it was better than Malvern is crazy, they have hundreds of stalls there and it is under cover not in the open , don't get me wrong we are coming down next year if it is on but to get those bargains I think a local B&B is on the agenda and an early breakfast.

Karoshi Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 Hi Commander and welcome to the forum. Its such a shame that so many HMVF members attended this event and NONE of us knew each other. It would have been an ideal place to say Hi. were working on some badges. I thought for a first event is was cracking, but we were late arrivals and missed the bargains. For you guys to have made it down from up north is praise worthy, I hope you weren't too dissapointed at some southerners catching the early worm. How far did you guys travel ?
