Wrap up warm. That hanger is bleedin cold. Even in mid summer.
i wony be there this year. I'll be recovering from tje works xmas do (aka my leaving do). How ever. There will be a small sig presance due to Trevor and Richard over in the education building behind the canberra pr3. As for the fair itself. Its a good way to blow your xmas cash on kits. Most of the traders are the same guys who attend the main coventry show in the summer.
I always hope for the best.
Unfortunately,
experience has taught me to expect the worst.

Size (of the stash) matters.

I wonder if that's partially to encourage visitors to rotate back to the shop/cafĂ© to warm up and buy something  :thumbsup:

if it gets TOO cold and it has done in previous years, people often pack up a little early.
