The next event I shall be organising is the 4th Annual Wiltshire Programme & Memorabilia Fair to be held in the Legends Lounge, Ansells Stand, Swindon Town FC, County Ground, SN1 2ED on Sunday January 28 (10.30am - 1.30pm).
This is now a well-established and popular fair, regularly drawing a good attendance from a wide range of collectors. At last year's fair we had visitors from as far north as Tamworth and as far south as Bournemouth, as well as from the South West and South Wales.
The venue is really spacious, so althugh we usually have a dozen or so traders, there is plenty of room at the venue to accommodate any other dealers or collectors with surplus stock who wish to take a stand. Contact me for details: [email protected].

I went to yesterday's Swindon v Forest Green game to put up posters and generally promote the up-coming WILTSHIRE Fair at the Legends Lounge at Swindon Town FC on Sunday January 28 (10.30am-1.30pm).
I was pleased to see that Swindon Supporters Club gave the Fair a good plug in their column in the Matchday Programme.
I'm also also grateful to the Swindon Supporters Trust who are advertising the Fair on their Facebook, and to Terry's Badges, who has it on his website.
All this extra publicity is helpful, and will supplement the paid adverts I shall be inserting in the Non-League Paper, the League Football Paper and the Swindon Advertier.
There's been an excellent response from traders taking stands:
Nine regular stall-holders have comitted to return again this year: Mark Addicott, Roger and Tony Coombs, John Cosh, John Dee, Martin Lane, Paul Ploughman, Swindon Town Suporters Club, Terry's Badges and myself.
And we welcome two newcomers in Lee Hermitage from North Middlesex and Alistair Loffley from Derby.
We are fortunate to have a spacious venue, so there is still plenty of room for any other dealers, or collectors with surplus stock to sell, to take stands. For further details email: [email protected]

Listing for Big Match should read 1940's to date, and obviously 1970's TOPPS cards.

Will also have a selection of Classic Magazines, and some Laminated Posters harvested from scrap/excess stock magazines.

And website is, of course, www.nwmfootball.com !

Just a brief note to thank everyone for supporting the Fair at Swindon today - it is much appreciated, I must assure you..
We had an attendance of just over 60, and many of the collectors gave very positive feedback on both the variety and the quality of the stock on sale; equally, most traders reported takings exceeding their expectations.
I look forward to organising another event at the County Ground again next year.
