Just a quick reminder that this is happening on Sunday. We're fully booked with 40 tables of bargains, hot & cold food and drinks plus if anyone wants to stay for the afternoon there will be a gaming session. If you're trading then the doors will open at 8.00a.m |

so this is not a show, per se, but just a table sale. Interesting. Wonder if, if successful, the idea will catch on across the UK. Perhaps you could do an after action report please? Marc |

Hi Marc, we have been running these since 2004 & yes they are quite successful!
We have space for about 40 tables & for the last 5 years or so they have all been taken with a reserve list waiting.
We normally get about 100 paying visitors with probably another 100 in the Hall from our members & the sellers – who of course are also looking to spend.
Some traders but they are there incognito selling off old or surplus stock or even there own surplus collections.
There are a few other sales & I think the one organised by Ryan McKnight in Penkridge is now a good healthy annual event each January. They are good fun & the emphasis is on pile it high & sell it cheap! |
