GREAT WEST FAIR @ BATH: SUNDAY NOVEMBER 22 (10.30 - 1.30)

[Westwardprogs]

It is very pleasing that we once again have an excellent turnout of stall-holders for the third annual Great West Programme & Memorabilia Fair at Bath City FC, Twerton Park, BA2 3DB, on Sunday week, November 22
(10.30am - 1.30pm).
Well-known national dealers like Michael and Alex Hewitt (from Leeds), Tom Roe (Lancashire), Ian and Donald Nannestad of Lincoln-based Soccer History magazine, Terry Hall of Terry’s Badges (from Oxfordshire), Roger and Tony Coombes (from Cardiff) and Martin Lane (from London) have all returned.
Bath City Supporters Club was unable to take a stall last year because their team had an FA Trophy match at Gloucester the same day, but are back this year. We also welcome two new stall-holders in Phil Abrahams and Keynsham Town FC.
Of course, I shall also have a stall as well.
With such a wide range of stalls, collectors should find some prized gems that they are looking for, from clubs at home and abroad, as well as the South West and South Wales.
Admission will cost £1, under-16's free. All adult attendees will be automatically entered into a free raffle with three prizes of a bottle of wine (to be drawn at 12 noon).
Hot and cold drinks and refreshments will be on sale throughout the event.

Dammit.
