Decided to go to the `fair`.Arrived at 10,20am,couldn`t get in the car park,totally full. Parked in a pub car park. Entrance to the fair,£2.00,and it was packed.Bought a few things,£60.00,and left about 12.30pm.

I went after lunch and the car park was still full - I went in the wrong way and got told off. Anyway, I live very local so knew where to park elsewhere. I thought it was great and stayed until gone 4.00 pm when it was thinning out. As it is the first fair I have been to I found it all very interesting. I got old maps of Lambeth in London and I hope I will be able to pick out the house my ancestors lived in around 1870. I am just so bowled over about how computerised everything is now to when I first got into this about 20 years ago. There are other fairs coming up in Kent and Worthing, in Sussex and 'northern places' I didn't make a note of.

Kevin,, Actually Kev`,Yes I think you would have enjoyed it,apart from the parking problems. I parked behind the pub,in their car park,just a few minutes from the hall.
