NEW FAIR IN BRISTOL

[Westwardprogs]

Whilst the Fair at Bristol Rovers back in March was relatively successful, one notable feature was the almost complete absence of Bristol City collectors - local hostilities run deep, as I know from my own up-bringing at Rovers!
It was suggested that perhaps we should also stage a Fair at Ashton Gate on a Sunday later this year in, say, September or October. Unfortunately, there were no rooms available at Ashton Gate that came within my budget. Therefore, I investigated a suitable hotel in South Bristol as a possible alternative, of which the best is probably Arnos Manor Hotel, which is easy to get to on the main A4 Bath Road, just a mile from Temple Meads station, and well-served by buses.
There were several Bristol City collectors at the Fair in Bath last Sunday and they thought it would be well worth trying to hold a Fair there.
Therefore, I have decided to launch a new Bristol & West Fair to take place at Arnos Manor Hotel, 470 Bath Road, Bristol BS4 on Sunday October 22 (10.30am - 1.30pm).
Any dealers, or collectors with surplus stock to sell, wishing to take a stand at the Fair should email me on [email protected].

Hope to see forum members there.
