Au Revoir Donnington

It's not goodbye just au revoir!! We were at the last toyfair for some time at Donnington Park today. Things are a changing there because something called Formula 1 is coming to town.

It was a nice sunny day today and the start of the Easter break for many people, but not for us. We were up at the crack of dawn, (well it felt like it!!), and set off for Donnington. The toyfair was well supported by dealers, though there was the odd empty table, and everyone had set up in plenty of time. There was a good turnout of folks through the door, though as has been the case at recent toyfairs, they were more picky in what they would spend their hard earned cash on.

Thankfully they seemed to like the reissued Product Enterprise die-casts from the world of Gerry Anderson. Overall and luckily for us they went for the more expensive items and not the cheap n cheerfuls, so although we didn't sell alot of things we did a bit and made a profit, which was nice.

Didn't find any bargains for ourselves though and not for the want of trying, but better luck next time. Which will be Huntingdon on Bank Holiday Monday.
