Many thanks to all the organisers and Traders for this excellent show and all their hard work, it was appreciated!
I hope and trust it will be on again next year?
Thanks for all the pics. Looks quiet or was that just the time of day?
ReplyDeleteHi Norm, I noticed it was getting busier as I left, so I think it must have just been the time of day. Andy at Last Valley said it had been brisk business for him even in the quieter first hour.
DeletePreparation to go to hospital prevented my attendance, it does certainly look quiet. I can never figure out the lack of support for some of the Northern shows. I know and have seen a lot of gamers attend York, Newark etc and yet don’t go to their local show. The Newcastle show used to be really brisk even when it moved to the arena but it seems to be getting quieter.
ReplyDeleteSome interesting traders there a few I haven’t seen before. Glad you enjoyed the visit.
Sorry you weren't able to attend, hope the op goes well!
DeleteI don't know why numbers are less nowadays, I just hope the shows keep going and people return!
Looks like a great show!
