What a shame it is on the long weekend.

mrboggler · **Posted:** Fri May 02, 2008 13:21:34 pm

I take it you will not be in attendance, you will be missed Gary. :cry:

From Memorey it has always been on the Long Weekend,

GJ50 · **Posted:** Fri May 02, 2008 14:38:51 pm

Yes, when it has been at Mooroolbark it has, but when held elsewhere is on a standard weekend.
Yes, I will not be attending as will be elsewhere.

Ron, what times? My long weekend will consist of painting, gardening and other such fruitless drudgery. It might be nice to have a little break.

mrboggler · **Posted:** Mon May 26, 2008 20:35:28 pm

Ron.

sherro · **Posted:** Mon May 26, 2008 21:18:33 pm

Not at 8.30 you won't! I'll try to get there though :wink:

mrboggler · **Posted:** Mon May 26, 2008 21:37:27 pm

I was only suggesting that if you wish to partake of the best of the wares on display then the early bird gets the worm. :wink:

Ron Is this the sort of place I could have put a table of stamps up for sale?

Probably too late now but could remember for another time!!

mrboggler · **Posted:** Fri May 30, 2008 23:16:15 pm

Yes you could do a table there quite well.
I can put you in touch with the organizer,and Frank can let you know,about fitting in,
perhaps a bit late for this one, :?:

Ron.

annwiggy · **Posted:** Sat May 31, 2008 00:31:12 am

Thanks Ron will work towards the next one but will try and visit this one to look at the set-up

mrboggler · **Posted:** Sat May 31, 2008 07:47:28 am

I will introduce you to Frank and you can organize for the next one, >>>>>>>> Late Nov,early Dec, :?:

Ron.

Just bumping this up the ladder,as a reminder of a great Fair this SUNDAY COMING.

For those who may be interested ,

I have put together another LARGE suitcase, FULL of Stamps,Junk.leftovers,etc.

Going out at $100.00. very heavy,so only the fit and famous should be interested, :lol:

sherro · **Posted:** Tue Jun 03, 2008 08:44:39 am

Do you reckon I can sneak it past her indoors? :shock:

mrboggler · **Posted:** Tue Jun 03, 2008 08:47:57 am

its pretty big, :shock:

but if you left it in the boot,and smuggled a little bit in at a time,you might just get away with it,

mrboggler · **Posted:** Thu Jun 05, 2008 08:13:37 am

Again just bumping this up to remind everyone,about SUNDAY.

weather forcast is for a sunny day with a top temp about 17.

NO RAIN again, :!:

Remember its a Long weekend,so you can play with your stamps on the Monday too.

sherro · **Posted:** Thu Jun 05, 2008 08:20:49 am

Nice sales pitch. Now, if I come to the fair on Sunday, and play stamps on Monday, just who is going to paint the deck, finish painting the bedroom and finish the gardening so we can put the house on the market?

Geez, the wife's going to be busy!! :lol:

mrboggler · **Posted:** Thu Jun 05, 2008 08:57:51 am

You took the words right out of my mouth, :roll:

mrboggler · **Posted:** Sun Jun 08, 2008 17:47:26 pm

For those who may be interested.a brief rundown on the Mooroolbark Fair. :wink:

Overall slightly more bodies through the door than the last 2-3 Fairs,quite a few new Faces,which can only be good for the Hobby.
All Dealers I spoke to were Very happy with sales (as was I) :lol:

The Suitcase was the 1st sale of the Day.
Sherro was keen, but was having trouble with getting it past the Wife.

He asked me If I could ring up later in the evening to say Sherro had Won the Raffle "A suitcase Full Of Stamps" he thought that might work.
But while he was cogitating over it, a Lady spotted it spoke to her Husband and it was GONE.much to Sherro,s relief.

There were 6 clubs who entererd the Comp.
Mooroolbark.
The Royal.
The P.S.Society.
Waverly.
Dandenong.
Brighton.
Each club supplies 3 frames,( 1 each from 3 members,)
so there were 18 displays. ALL of a very high standard,.

but ranged from rubbish bin throw aways,to 1st class early Covers.War Time Covers,Thematics,etc etc.

The Royal took 1st Prize but only by 1 point from Waverly.

All up a VERY GOOD Fair,and we hope the next one will be even better.

Phew! Disappointed and relieved all at once. Glad you sold it before I could change my mind.
