National Family History Fair

[Guest]

Just got back home yesterday after a holiday and it will be straight into preparing for the fair. Hopefully I've got most things in place.

There is a huge line up of 105 exhibitors for this event and amongst them are

Brit-Gen with Bo Peep & the Daft Bat
Family & Local History Handbook with Liz & Bob
Genealogy Printers with Ron and Carol
One Stop Genealogy with Karen & Jo
Parish Chest with Frank & Pam

and someone called Graham with Jigrah Resources.

Don't forget, The National Family History Fair, Gateshead International Stadium, Saturday 12th. September, 10.00am - 4.30pm. Tickets cost just £4.00.

Hi Bo.

It might just cost 4 quid to get in but the fare from Canada is bloody awful

Maybe some time in the future if 'my ship comes in'

Such a long thread and nobody has thought to wonder why a provincial show bears the title "National".

Why should anyone wonder? National doesn't have to imply London.

In terms of coverage compared to other shows - exhibitors from as far and wide as the south coast of England to the north of Scotland - it probably has deserved that title all through its history.

They get exhibitors from Ireland and Cornwall too.

Well in that case Bo, it is practically INTERnational!

Cornwall too Pam? Ain't that on the south coast of England then?

Not only does the fair attract stall holders from all over the UK but with the exception of the W.D.Y.T.Y.A. fair held in London it's probably the 2nd largest fair held anywhere in the country as regards the amount of visitors and stall holders, I certainly would not call it a provincial fair.

Just start rowing, Colin, but you will have to paddle really quickly!

Thanks for the advice/suggestion - however - "My Get Up and Go" has suddenly
"GOT UP AND GONE"

Don't suppose any one else has any other 'helpful' suggestions

Just one week to go! Do please come along and meet the Daft Bat. It is an experience that is not to be missed!

Having met Jan at York I can confirm that

Still to sort out everything for next weekend but put my BG badge on my shirt collar this morning so the important job is done

That Graham will scrounge anything, where's my GB badge then, there'd better be one waiting for me at Gateshead.
