Hi Rik, it's North of the town centre off the B3398 Cherville Street. It's usually pretty well signposted.
Just taken a look at my map and this shows it as being The Romsey School.

It's gotta be better than gardening, so I might just pop along for a looksee.

Must have missed you Richard, but there were a lot of beards on display,I did bump into Rik though.

I was hoping for some book bargains but they were a bit pricey,picked up a nice unused Abu closed face reel though.I managed to resist all those centrepins somehow.

At least you picked up a bargain there John.
You're right about the book prices though... extortionate!
I looked at a couple of barbel books, one by Andy Orme and another called "Quest for Barbel", each were priced at around 50 quid!
Needless to say I didn't buy either.

Did you see the reels made by Garry Mills (ex Young's employee)?
VERY nice. I understand he'll start making them for customers in 12-18 months time.

Sorry to have missed Big Rik as well, did he manage to nab any bargains?

One of the Andy Orme barbel books was priced at ?80 but the bloke said he would accept ?75, very charitable.

If I'd have seen a bargain, then I might have been interested.
It was all rather pricey.

The coffee was alright though.

If it's on again next year, then I'll probably go up there with my Aerial match and try to flog it to one of the stall holders.
They were selling crap ones for ?135.

I've got something else happening Wednesday, as much as I'd like to travel for 4 hours up the M6 to watch you and the midget in action.
