The third Dalek Invasion at the Fleet Air Arm Museum in Yeovilton, took place last weekend, 8th & 9th. A two-day event due to the problems last year with folks being unable to get in and the Police having to turn them away, before they got sight of the museum. Two days though meant extra cost for us, hotel for overnight stay and hire of a van so that we had enough stock with us.
Well the van wasn't really needed as both days were a wee bit sparse of people, despite the allure of two Doctors, Colin Baker and Sylvestor McCoy as well as a whole army of Daleks and other characters from Doctor Who, not to mention other Doctors or should we say John Smith's!!! Must be all this timey wimey, wibbly wobbly stuff that the Doctor goes on about as at one time there were two 10th Doctors and a 5th Doctor at our stall.
Trade was shall we say slow and not so good as the previous two years. Still we did at least have a good location such that folks could see us.
There was plenty to do for the young aspiring Time Lords unfortunately not always in the same hall.
Pity but the weekend didn't quite turn out as we hoped. Maybe it was the hot sunny weather that did it. It certainly wasn't the news of the Ashes, was it???
Oh and by the way if you have an overnight stay at a Travel Lodge, for any reason, just don't preorder the breakfast, £4.00+ for a few cornflakes, a little long life milk, one go bar, a tiny bottle of fruit juice and a cup with instant coffee in. You have to provide the water. What a rip-off!! You have been warned!!! Bad mistake the breakfast, really set the scene for the second day at the Museum.
