It was nice to meet in person, Wallys-cast, the maker of 3 paper floats, given several years ago, as a Secret Santa gift.

Thank you

A good day.
Nice to meet fellow TFF members and unlike last year, I managed to make more money than I spent.
Some very tempting items on display......
Temptation is a terrible, terrible thing... :fish:

Thanks to Andy and the Phoenix club.

All the best Chaps ! :Hat:

Well done Andy, a most enjoyable fair with good quality items on sale from professional sellers and from anglers selling their surplus kit. This fair has great potential in the future, it was very well attended and trade seemed brisk.
It's a good venue to catch up with some old friends and put faces to names. I think there are many regular Redditch stallholders that could do well at the Yorkshire fair, it's easy to get to from The M1 with easy and plentiful parking, good facilities and catering. I, for one, am looking forward to the next Yorkshire fair :Thumb:

I intended to pop in for an hour, but three hours had passed before I looked at the clock!
It was good to meet so many TFF members there, including a few I'd not met before.
Did a lot of gazing lustfully at a lot of gorgeous vintage tackle, but generally behaved myself and obeyed the instructions of my 'Finance Director.
There was one very cute little reel which took my fancy, but I forgot to return to Wanderer's table until I was halfway home. You have a PM!
Thanks Andy to the organisation again this year, and I look forward to seeing you at the annual 'showdown' on 11th August.

It's less than an hour away from me which is handy rather than the two and a half for Redditch which I also attend.

Thanks for the feedback - it will grow into a big oak tree -
