Is the UK Whiff SIG exhibiting?

It's been ages since I went and always liked the show, apart from the IMPOSSIBLE parking unless you got there at the crack of dawn!

with it being a two day show, we don't have a stand there.

Finding people to man it both days would be interesting to say the least.
For its size. It doesn't warrant being a two day event, one would be plenty.

Oh and the parking hasn't improved at all Kit.


I always hope for the best.
Unfortunately,
experience has taught me to expect the worst.

Size (of the stash) matters.

OGL,

Thanks for that, I'll keep it in mind. I can always go and stay at an old stamping ground in Essex and go to Southern Expo the next day, so long as I get  up early!

Exactly Martin. It's one advantage is that you get some traders there who don't make the Northerly shows. I can get there in about 2 hours by walk/train/walk/train/bus  :banghead:

I went there once, but thought a return trip hasn't been worth the effort.

However, we will be in Hornchurch on June 11th at the Queens Theatre for Rocky Horror. :thumbsup:

Hm, do you now?  ;)

That sounds promising for sure, and all the more reason to be going there.

As Colin says it's good on the Saturday (normally have to queue to get in but quiet on the Sunday. I go for a couple of hours on the Saturday morning.

Speak to you in the New Year Hank or at Milton Keynes

I did the sunday for this years show, but from the "other side of the fence" I was helping out on the Littlecars.com stand.

Its a good little show, but it really only needs to be a one day event.
