Collectors attending the Fair on Sunday are asked to park their vehicles in the main Park & Ride car park, as the Green Taverners' Car Boot Sale is in the Higher Home Park car park and the manager, staff and players will also be at the ground training and preparing for the Easter Monday home game against York City.
Pedestrian access to the Tribute Lounge will be by walking through the Car Boot Sale in the Upper Home Park Car Park and using the double gates two-thirds down the Grandstand (opposite the Argyle Retail Village building).

This is a very sincere 'Big Thank You' to all stall-holders and collectors who supported the event - it was the first Fair in Plymouth since April 2013 - and attracted an attendance of just over 50, a significant rise on the 30 or so who attended in 2013!
With 8 stands, there was a wide variety of items for everyone - and I received a lot of positive feedback and there was great enthusiasm to repeat the event again in 2017, which is what I plan to do.

I went along today and was impressed with the stalls on view and the really positive atmosphere.
Picked up a few decent pieces too, which is always a plus.
Definitely interested in taking a stall next time in the South West.
Well done Gordon.
