Pls vote for date of Sept Manchester Swapmeet
Hi All
Re: previous thread "Manchester Swapmeet Saturday 20th Jan 2007", would those hoping to attend next "do" in Sept please vote for saturday 1st or sunday 2nd - or vote for don't care in which case I will take that as an indication of your hoping to attend. Once readers of the bulletin have had a chance to contact me as well I will name the day, providing ofcourse that I can be confident that the best part of a couple of dozen are keen, to cover costs. Thanks John |

Re: Pls vote for date of Sept Manchester Swapmeet
Another one added too.
Saturday is chores day for me. If I go to the supermarket on a Friday they still have the dregs of the week, if I go on a Sunday then all the fresh stuff has usually gone. So Saturday is chores day, Sunday is Playday and hence going to an event usually means it has to be a Sunday. TTFN, Jon |

Re: Pls vote for date of Sept Manchester Swapmeet
Although my vote was for Saturday (in line with my previous comments), I have no strong objections to the particular Sunday in question (2nd September) - as things stand at present I have no commitments for that day beyond my usual Sunday observance.

That said, we know from the forum that there's a dozen or so reliables who will pitch up, so maybe i should email the bvws and ask them how, at a lateish stage, I could circulate all members with a notification, and also while I'm at it, persuade them to fund the event as a bvws swapmeet sans public. Will update the thread with this text and with further news. Cheers J Last edited by Duke_Nukem; 19th Jul 2007 at 1:10 pm. Reason: Fixed quote and got rid of txt msg txt |

Re: Pls vote for date of Sept Manchester Swapmeet
Hi All,
Dave Moll has prompted me to consider the northern swapmeet again. If we are to have a manchester do it cannot be 2nd sept as I gather it will definitely be too late to be publicised in the Sept bulletin. I now suggest Sun 28th October. Do keep an eye on thread and post to express interest. Thanks JM |

Re: Pls vote for date of Sept Manchester Swapmeet
Hello John, All,
The date you propose for the Manchester meeting is probably not a very good choice. The reason being that it falls on the same day as the Audiojumble in Tonbridge Kent. The BVWS always have a table at that event, and one has been arranged for this coming event already, so we would not be able to attend in Manchester. Having a quick look at the events diary on the website, I would suggest the following dates in October/November be considered. As it it a little furtehr away from people taking late holidays and avoiding the rip off prices applied at times when the dear children are on summer holidays. It is also niceley spaced around other events. Oct. 14th Oct. 28th Nov. 4th For regional meetings the BVWS will cover any losses incurred so that the event broke even, and you would not be out of pocket. The BVWS public liability insurance would also be covering the event. We will advertise the event in the Bulletin (next one being September!) and also on the BVWS website of course. If you still have your letter for the BVWS in electronic form, then please e-mail it to me and I will get it included in the September Bulletin, I think there is just enough space left, as the Bulletin has already been proof read! I would certainly attend if dates were possible. Best regards, Mike...

Re: Pls vote for date of Sept Manchester Swapmeet
I think 28-10 would be OK for me - in fact somewhat more so than 02-09.

An interesting talk is a good idea too _if_ there is a spare seperate room in which to do it, which is unlikly at smaller events. TTFN, Jon |

Re: Pls vote for date of Sept Manchester Swapmeet
Venue for 28/10 2pm-5pm (pencilled in by bookings lady - deposit to be paid)
Sale Moor Community Centre Norris Road Sale M33 2TN ...not the same as the last venue but same area. There are buses run along Norris Road and will advise what these are if anyone wishes to find out. Otherwise easy from M60 but probably 15 mins walk from Sale Tram station, or 5 mins walk from the 41 bus route from Manchester Centre if alighting at Boundary Grove / Norris Rd. Pip pip JM |
