Oh Dear! Oh Dear!! Oh Dear!!!

Yesterday it was good for Aled Jones and Songs of Praise, it was good for Fiona Bruce and the Antiques Roadshow but for Time Was... Beverley in Yorkshire was anything but good. Despite the best efforts of our host MB Toyfairs the toyfair just didn't do anything. Dealers were down because of toyfairs at the Reebok Stadium and at Mansfield, but that should have been better for ourselves.

The weather didn't help but there was still a healthy amount of people through the door, unfortunately like last time they weren't many, if any, buyers amongst them. We managed to buy almost as much as we sold and that wasn't much.

Still we have a weekend off next week and then we're on a run of seven weekends of fairs, from toyfairs to wargames events to Memorabilia on 20 and 21 November. Things should pick up in the next few events, hopefully!!

Daleks

The Daleks have returned!!! The new 13 inch Remote control Dalek Drone, that's the new red one, and the 5 inch Ironside have arrived at Time Was... So have a look at the website at www.timewasshop.co.uk/Daleks.htm and get them quick before they run out!! If only they had legs they could then run!!

Although there isn't a picture, Daleks are very shy you know, there is the new 'Blackout' Ironside Dalek, where the voice indicators have been covered up just in case Jerry turns up.

Spalding Toyfair

Yesterday the 12th took us back to Springfields at Spalding for another toyfair organised by J & J Webb. With other shows going off locally, and finally a decent day of weather, the fair looked a bit sparse in buyers as well as dealers.

Needless to say this sparsity, if that's a word, took it's heavy toll on sales. Many an hour was spent watching the world go by and eventually everyone called it a day and we all went for an early bath.

Not a lot to say other than there are easier ways to lose money.
