Must have missed you, I was there this morning. Didn't buy anything this time but chatted to a few stall holders I know.

Was a bit quiet this morning. I'd be interested to know if numbers are down this weekend.

How were the stalls?

I heard about it but had prior plans. Anything worth seeing?

Nope, were in the middle of 23deg clear blue skies. Maybe too many family picnics and kids sport? Who knows?

I was there 1130 to about 330 Saturday. I went on the Saturday in Feb and I reckon the numbers were about the same.

I bought a few trinkets - NOS mag for #4 + some butt plate screws + scope mount + rings, wolf eyes torch, and a beef tiger from Harry's Cafe.

caught up with a few mates, spent a lot of time talking. had a great time.

in feb i arrived at the door at 9:30 and had to join a cue that stretched half way to the toilet block outside the venue then once inside it was like pit street in each alley, two people deep at most stalls where as yesterday i arrived at the same time, 9:30 and walked straight to the door and was second in the que. Inside is was quite pleasant not to have to cue to look at each stand and could pretty much ask the stall holder a question without having to wait.

mind you i did make a conscious decision to walk the stands anti clockwise yesterday, maybe that had something to do with it :lol:
