They had plenty of Bargains there last year, you will love it.
But if your a bit short $$ of this stuff, just sit the family down, explain the economic situation, an ask if they could decide amongst them selfs which one should go.
I think that’s fair [emoji6][emoji6].
Cheers Matt.

I'll be there at 9am. Their show a couple of weeks ago at the Brighton Town Hall was good.

I got there around 9.45 this morning. Great day for it and LOTS to see. Prices varied and most vendors willing to negotiate. Some stalls had pricing, some didn't. It became obvious fairly quickly that the vendors knew their stuff, so killer bargains were unlikely. I got to hold both a Stanley #8 and a Stanley #2 but both were $400+ so I put them back. Spent a bit of money and had a great time. Big thanks to the HTPAA, I know these things take a lot to organise. My best buy - Matheison moulding plane (in grest nick), Ohio #130 block plane (blade needs a little straightening) and a Sargent Tool Book (reprint of 1911 catalogue) for $45.

I had a couple of hours to spare and managed to get to the site. Weather was very nice, not too hot or cold. Not too windy and no rain.
Very disappointed that I was asked to pay $5 to look at the stalls. Pity there was no signage that I saw to indicate payment was required. Next time I may not give "free" publicity on the forum.
Spent the time looking at the steam museum and thoroughly enjoyed myself. Did not get to see everything, but will no doubt see it another time.
