Any feedback on this weekend show, heard it was very quiet. Two days is an overkill in my mind, splits the camp, both dealers and collectors opting for going either Saturday only or just the Sunday due to time and cost. Any other thoughts on this?

Hey Rusty !

Brave.........very brave !!

Beware the wrath of the Barnsley one !!

Agree-better to have one good,busy day rather than two mediocre,flat days (speaking from experience as a buyer on the Saturday and stallholder on the Sunday).Bring back the one day format! (but leave the Summernational as a special 2 day event)

 lummox, you are the only person who knows my identity, bugger that means i'm stuffed for a bribe  

Seriously though, two days feels like a stretch. Sure have a 2 day event once a year, but every show...? who can commit that time?  Extending shows has historically damaged them. Newark anyone?

I stand by my comment two days is Pants! 

But thank god for the show. It really is one of the two good advertising shows left ( Aylesbury, being the other)- I appreciate all the barnsley Dons effort. I never miss it.

 I mean where else can you see Al staggering about part comatose, buying up tat, while eating a bacon butty.

Hi Rusty ( Your secret is safe with me and apparently GS )

No I agree with you. Genolite Bob was bemoaning the length of the uncatalogued sat sale at an earlier show & the fact that 2 days was probably a stretch to far. The National yes.................a solid once a year event, but others almost certainly better as a tight one day event.

AB is damned if he does and damned if he doesnt. However I go along with the majority view that 2 days is OK for the Summernational but not the rest.You have to go on Sat, as it has become the main buying day.

Lets not forget the fuel costs if you go both days.For me its £20 a day,or stopping overnight at greater cost.They are long days and your weekend has gone.

It was a good try AB...worth seeing if it would work.It just doesnt for me.
