ashley Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Hi Dodgey, what are the times for this event ?? Ashley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgey Posted April 25, 2006 Author Share Posted April 25, 2006 Hi, It opens about 8am till 4pm. The early you get there the better. The 'Dig Outers' empty their boots at approx 7am so come early, no one stops you comming in at 7. So you can be the first to spot the goodies!

fv1609 Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 Well I have just got back with all the items listed above back in the trailer. So not a good day from a sellers point of view, it was pleasant enough socially. I would have thought a few more people would have been tempted to take their MV for a first of the season outing. Only took £27 but last time took about £150. So was it a bad move holding it on a Bank Holiday weekend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
commander Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 Well at least you did not back over my tent , which by the way did not sell but apart from being a bit chilly nice day on the whole Commander Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashley Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 Hi all, i thought on the whole it wasn`t that busy (maybe quieter than the last one ?? ) There was a nice looking Humber on site as well as a cool looking ferret and a couple of jeeps, but the bargins i think were scarce on the ground though threr were one or two to be had. There again met some old friends and some new ones to include `dotty dodge` Rowan and dad, great to chat to you guys and thanks for the fan belt (owe you one for sure ) May be the B/H was a bad choice but at least it did not rain !!
