    A few of us as going to the Swap meet and will try to be by the bar (first floor) around 12:30 if anybody else wishes to say hello. How we will recognise one another I don't have a clue :)

    Too far for me, over three and half hours away, but £10 is too much entrance fee.
    Huddersfield autojumble £2.50 , cafe next door full brekky and cuppa £4.50 , free parking . A grand day out for less than a tenner . Plus proper old school auto jumble ,

  5. Last time I was near, I discovered Huddersfield doesn't exist anymore, it's part of a larger conurbation called Cleckhuddersfax :thumbsup:

  8. Agreed, it's as much about the social side as it is the actual jumble. I loved going when I lived in Leeds and had a stall when the garage got a bit full ....
    Rufforth was better for bike 'stuff' but 'Uddersfeeld was more general - great jumble !!

    You could always wear a Pink Carnation in your left lapel.
    Apparently, that's what @snotty does when he has his "meet up's"!!o_O

    There will be at least two balding, bearded, bispecled men of a certain age holding up the bar...oh wait there's a flaw in that plan

    Part of penny farthing fairs / Phoenix fairs , next on 28th November . But every month over the cold seasons based on most vendors going to bigger fairs in the warmer weather

    I would rather pay a tenner for having a good swapmeet , than have nothing at all.

    The cost of the fuel to get to it is another factor.. I spent a tenner or so for Dubfreeze and drove a 400 mile round trip and spent a couple of hundred pounds on things. Entry fee negligible.

  14. It's a bit far for me, sadly, but I was thinking of the Volksworld show this coming year. Have a good root around everyone :thumbsup:
