Memorabilia - NEC

The Spring Memorabilia event at the NEC was a busy old affair. Saturday was very busy but very tiring. Getting up at 4 a.m. is not everyone's cup of tea certainly not ours. But Memorabilia is one of those shows that makes it worth it. Plenty to see and plenty of buyers. After a slow first hour, which is normal, our collectable toys flew off the shelves, though the Fantasy figures didn't do so well, the Gothic jewellery did. We eventually had the best day yet at the NEC, pity the evening meal at our local Indian Restaurant with family didn't go quite so well. Three hours for two courses is well just tto much, though they were apologetic and gave us a couple of bottles as an apology. Sunday though was a different story, like a football match it was a weekend of two halves. Pity the half -time whistle came, since Sunday only produced a quarter of what we did on Saturday. No gothic jewellery went, very few fantasy figures and it was only the toys that kept us going. Still overall it was a very good weekend, but very tiring, Sunday night was a time for sleep.
