It's been years since I went to one. I remember the hall in Morningside.
Freemans Bay is not too far away.

Yes, Klaus - damn auto spell check changed L to R, didn’t notice!

Both wrong: Krook isnt it ?

Watch it cartridgeguyonline...

Might have to put my moderator hat on (and no, it's not a dunce cap in case you were picturing that) and censor your post for too obvious innuendo! 😁

Fair call. Just my opinion (and a few others here ), based on his past performance on TM.

I just can't bring myself to pay an entry-fee to a retail premises, however temporary.

Agree.

And I thought that was only a Nelson thing. Fair pisses me off TBH, spending money to get into something where you spend more money !

Here in the sticks organisers have scrapped entry fees for the past 2-3 years.

Had never given it a second thought but now you mention it, it is a bit cheeky. On the other hand although I've not been to one for years they always seemed busy, let the market decide I say.

Last one I went to charged for early birds at opening time, presumably to give keen punters first dibs, and free entry after a period of time.

I'm pleased I'm not alone. I'm confident sellers get charged, why do buyers also get charged?

Gougers gonna gouge.

Chaps

This looks like a dangerously enticing combination of free entry, beer, food & vinyl records (... and probably worthy of its own thread) 😎

Yeah im tempted to add a typical K.... comment but then I would get my hand smacked again...

The locals used to run their fairs in a tendy pub, ideal place for physical sustenance after wasting an hour or two going through the typically mediocre wares presented.

Since abandoned for the last couple of fairs, in favour of local bowling clubs.

Well you are getting to that age !

So did anyone go to the Freeman's Bay fair ?
