One extra idea not mentioned above would be to incorporate a live auction into a fair. I was at Staceys's for part of the day yesterday and there was a good attendance in the room - perhaps combining events would encourage more through the door?

I think one practical issue with programme fairs (pretty sure this was mentioned by David Allen when we discussed this a couple of years ago) is that bringing and displaying a good selection of programmes involves a lot of heavy lifting - of course with cards, tickets, Corinthian figures and shirts that isn't such a problem

Finally - as mentioned above with QPR - the best way to advertise and build attendance is with the enthusiastic help of a club and by committing to it being an annual event

Combining an auction with a Fair is a great idea.

Good to see South London is getting a fair at Tooting & Mitcham this Sunday.

Always thought this part of London could host a successful fair. Hope it goes well.
