Back in field opposite the Heritage CentrePortaloos on field (for night use), plus a skip for rubbish. Good washroom in the toilets behind BBR office (by clock) where the Car Boot is - use the disabled one for a strip wash, hot water!!!!!

Charges: 

1. £5 p.p.p.n. booked & prepaid! This can be done by Paypal (as 'personal payment' to: sales@onlinebbr.com), or tel: 01226 745156.

Sadly, this could be the very last year for camping if anyone fails to pay. Sorry if this sounds harsh but it costs us dearly, even to just sleep on the grass! 

BBR pre National magazine goes to the printers Monday - to be posted, and reach all subscribers, just before the Show ....

Meanwhile - rain. rain please DON'T go away ..............

I want you to pour down for another 10 days. Empty all those buckets up there .... and then July 7 & 8 beat us with your rays of sunshine ....... bring it on.

Bring it on Alan. I'm buzzing about it now. Hopefully will put a good stall together as I have just been offered a collection of Match Strikers

Cheers

Al.

BBR 132 to bed, should be back next Mon -for a quick turn round and posted out to reach UK readers before the show.

Apart from other mundane pre show stuff I will now concentrating on the promo for the BIG week-end.

Antiques Trade Gazette advert this week (£ = OUCH!!), had 2 pages in Antiques Diary, been plenty on all the forums (here and overseas - contingent from Australia, New Zealand, America etc already booked in), local magazines, papers and radio end of this week. Have attended ALL SHows this year around the UK - with promotional material and those big colourful AO boards.

Will try to get more stuff to Al for this forum in the next few days.

Stall confirmations go out towards end of this week, with more publicity posters (for car windows).... then all I can do is sit back (yeah!!!!!!) and await the good weather that was booked after last years scorcher.

Stalls virtually all gone (couple of odd spaces), and the Car Boot is looking good (folk really do not like pre booking - which so much helps planning).

Full marks to those who have pre booked the camping... not only do they save themselves some money, but also it could help guarantee the possibility of this continuing (more money in already than the last 3 years put together - honersty amongst collectors, hhhhhmmmmmm?).

A couple of odd spaces around the site for any late week-end bookers, plus some car boot space too (Sun only). Email: sales@onlinebbr.com.

Long term forecast is much the same - some really sunny pleasant weather, with the odd shower possible. As predictions seem to improve daily - so do telephone enquiries about the event - lol!!

In't office Sat until about 1.30pm .... then gonna tek a bresak until Monday morning.... trying to chillax a little before the onslaught.

Have sent Al ALL the images for the auction, plus words - quite unsure how/ wot he will do with it - but 'hold yer breathe to be spellbound?"

Not heard owt from Al - he must be busy manipulating all those images to drop on here to tickle your taste buds ....... BBR 132 will be posted tomorrow to get you even more into the SummerNational spirit ..... and have 4 early nights to be ready for the mayhem and partying that is about to take place!!!!

Got pics, will bang em up tomorrow

Al.
