Definitely going to this one.
Not sure about the Summer time one.
Def can't make the Christmas one.
Looking forward to having a great time in April, enjoying the whole weekend and participating in evening merriment. It'll be great to meet all the first timers!
Thanks Dave Tree

Again many thanks to Dave for putting on a show that we all look forward too.

Are you trading Andy? Having seen you there for a while.

 

[andy x-wing pilot]

Yeah ive booked a table this time.
Ive enjoyed being a buyer rather than a seller over the last couple of FF's

 

[Taffius]

How many seller tables are expected in April? I dont need one, just gauging volume of sellers!

I am sure the April one will be only one I will be able to attend this year too. Seed is set. Just need to gather those pennies now!

Edit: had a short talk with my wife in the meantime. Maybe I'm a little bit late in planning for this FF and better try to get there next time.
Then I'll maybe do this trip with a fellow collector from Germany ...

This time, there's no escape! Booked our room today.
We (hopefully) will get to Fordingbridge by car. So there's no need of a pick up.
A fellow collector (widely known as battletank) and myself will do a Vintage-Toy-Road-Trip - starting Friday. First stop in Gent to visit the FACTS for a few hours to finally go on for the big show. Think we will arrive the saturday afternoon/evening and we're looking forward to then have a first meet up with you guys.

Looking forward to meeting you and your mate. Make sure you bring an empty suitcase

Thanks - we will come with an estate.

Question from a FF newbie: I would like to meet and have a couple of drinks with swfuklers - where is the place to be?
We will arrive around 20:30 and will stay at The Augustus John.
I read in another thread, that a bunch of you have dinner in a curry house in Ringwood. Will you stay there for some beers afterwards or is there another traditional meeting point (maybe a pub in Fordingbridge or sth. like that).
Pls let me know - we don't want to spend the night alone. :wink:

 

[Richard_H]

We usually go to The Crown which is over the road from the Town Hall.

Majority of people I know who are coming Saturday evening are staying in Ringwood which is around 6 miles away. People will be having drinks before and after curry there, give me a shout and head over that way, be taxis from there to get back to Fordingbridge later on.

 

[naughtyjedi]

dont forget the lovely bus service too.. i think theres a last bus at 1230 from fordingbridge to ringwood

 

[Plastikheld]

Thanks guys - so the Ringwood people will stay there or is there a late meet up at The Crown? (which I would prefer to just have some beers).
We'll try to do both.

Next question: How about payments at FF. Is there a WLAN connection to do via Paypal or is there just cash. As we do come over from Germany it's hard to tell how much GBP we need to change for our finds/buys.

 

[Clarkspie&chips]

Reception in the hall is poor but if you go outside I can get a couple of bars. Some of the usual dealers take PayPal but most sales are cash. There's an ATM on the high street though about 50m from the venue.

Sorry to long time goers of FF, but not been before so where are the places to park and the opening times, etc, on Sunday?

Thanks in advance.

Parking is in the car park at the back of the Co op store, £1 per hour or £5 for all day If my memory serves me right.
If you look at a satellite map of Fordingbridge it's near where the library is, access to the car park is via Bartons road.
You can walk to the high street via an exit besides the Co op, then the Town Hall is on the right about 100 yards or so, opposite Dave Trees shop.
Opening time is 11:00 approx.

Most grateful.

 

[MrGudz]

Cheers for that.

I was going to ask exactly the same thing Taff.
