The publicity machine for the second North Wales Fair is in motion with prominent editorial in the North Wales Chronicle, North Wales Pioneer and Rhyl and Prestatyn Journal this week.
You can see previews of the fair on all three papers websites and Denbighshire County Council have put the event out on Twitter as part of their What's On guide.
The council Twitter feed has 8,000 followers and the papers and their websites will mean around 120,000 people will potentially see the articles.
Next week I hope to have editorial in the Denbighshire Free Press, Oswestry and Border Counties Advertizer, Wrexham Leader, Flintshire Leader and Chester Chronicle along with our regional daily, the Daily Post.
I really want to top last year's attendance of just over 230 so if any forum members use Twitter or Facebook please give the fair a plug - no matter how far from North Wales you are! It all helps!
Diolch pawb

Looking forward to it, and the pre Fair real ale swally!
Have got some cracking bdages to bring down with me, and although there will be some programmes the majority of stuff will be memorabilia.
Great selection of about 150 pre 1970 tickets, including all the big clubs bar Chelsea. Scarves, pennants, handbooks from pre WW2 onwards through to the 1950's, fixture lists from the late 19thC through to the 1930s, Xmas cards from clubs from the early 1950s, postcards of league teams 1904 through to 1920s.
Programme wise it will be mainly Scottish non league as I've made it my life's mission to educate the rest of the UK on what a great product we have up here, and it's probably the biggest collection of Scottish non league in the Cup proper you're ever likely to see in Wales! Hoping to have a few current season programmes down with me, again they'll all be Scottish non league but there will be some very hard to get issues amongst them already.
Diolch pawb! |

Best of luck with the Fair Mark. If you happen across any North Wales v Scotland Juniors issues, please keep me in mind, or point any dealers with them in my direction _________________ https://www.flickr.com/photos/footballprogrammes/albums |

Well done Mark. Really looking forward to the fair, Stoke on Trent to Prestatyn for the day. Reminds me of when I pedalled to Rhyl for the day when I was about 14 and my parents wouldn't let me return the same day so I stayed overnight in a boarding house in Butterton Road . I returned the next day after a bout of train spotting at Chester General.
At the fair I will bring a few hundred 60s programmes so pm me your club and I will bring them along £1 each. a few hundred 50s and lots of other items. Hoping for a bumper day with lots of selling and chatting.
Just picked out 80 Stoke City programmes for a completist and it was in his words £40 well spent. Any gaps 1978 to the present 50p each, plus post.
Stoke City Supporters club have a date back at the Betfred 365 stadium September 3rd when they hope to run a programme fair. here are other fairs that day but have some stalls already and would like any other sellers, big or small. PM me if you are interested. |

On the Saturday night before the fair a few of us are meeting up at Halcyon Quest real ale bar on Gronant Road, Prestatyn, for (as John calls it) a pre-fair 'swally' or, as we say in Wales, 'cwrw mawr'!
Anyone from the forum who may be coming over for the fair and is staying locally is welcome to join us for a pint or two.
We'll probably be there from 7.30/7.45pm onwards.
Beaudog - great tale about pedalling from Stoke to Rhyl and kipping in a Butterton Road guest house - bet you were scratching for weeks after! They do say that if you booked in a B&B in Rhyl's West End and you weren't back in by 10pm then the bedbugs would come looking for you!
Be seeing you!

Got a nice 1938 card, just smaller than a postcard, but to all intents and purposes that's what it is. All players named, and it'll be in my stock. |
