It's almost that time of year again. Yes, the NVCF will be its usual wonderful self on Sunday 13th May.

As usual, the Bring and Buy stall will be near the entrance raising money for the Vintage Wireless Museum. Thanks to your generosity we were able to donate over £1000 last year. More details to follow.

Just over 2 weeks to go until the biggest and best vintage wireless etc bash.

As usual Jeremy, Brian, and I will be raising money for the Dulwich Vintage Wireless Museum on the Bring and Buy stall. Not sure where we'll be this time but most likely not far from the main entrance. If you've got stuff for the B&B and are waiting for general admission please try to make contact with us and we'll do our best to get your stuff on to the stall.

There are 2 ways to sell stuff on the B&B.

1: Donation with 100% going to the Vintage Wireless Museum. We also like this because there's no admin for labels, lists etc.

2: Sales with 10% commission to the Museum. If you have more than a couple of items it helps us a lot if you can make a numbered list with prices. With corresponding numbered price labels stuck on the items. We then add a serial letter so that your No 3 is different from another No 3. We can do labeling/listing on the day but it really slows things down at busy times.

The B&B closes at 4pm just like the rest of NVCF. If you've sold anything you can collect the proceeds at any time. if anything you've bought remains unsold please remember to collect before 4pm. We don't have facilities to dispose of unsold items.

You've all been fabulously generous in the past, raising over £1000 at the last NVCF, so let's hope for another big donation to the Museum this time.

Here's the suggested listing sheet if you have more than a few items.
Remember to label each item with the number and a price. Leave space before the number so we can add a unique letter to identify your stuff.
See you all there - not long now...

Less than a week to go.

Weather's looking OK for the NVCF. Dry in the morning for unloading. For those stallholders parking on the grassy field side of the hall the recent sunny weather means that it will definitely not be boggy. Possibly some light showers later in the day. Temperature up to 14 degrees., just about ideal. Warm enough to be pleasant, not hot enough for people to be wishing they weren't indoors

I may well be collecting more surplus stuff from the Vintage Wireless Museum today. That, plus my own stuff, should mean a fairly load of stuff for the Bring and Buy. Jeremy will be bringing smaller items fromt he late Brian Cuff's workshop. We'll have a good large stall for the Bring and Buy, with your help we can try and overfill it

Hi
A little late but I thought I would offer anyway.
I will be travelling from Basildon around the M25 towards St Albans, onto the M1 passing Luton and Northampton, then on to the M45 and on to the exhibition centre.
I can take someone to the NVCF if you would like to share a car and costs.

A great offer from Mike. Also stops people from buying so much

Car all loaded for departure tomorrow. I'm a stweard, starting by 7am so staying in the Rugby Dunchurch Travelodge overnight. Car is VERY loaded with stuff for the B&B. Even if somebody was staying overnight there's no way I could offer a lift. Except tied down to the roof bars

The back seats just unclip, so I will be taking them out, that turns the Cmax into a little van.  
So should be room for at least 8 or 10 large woodies (if they are stacked carefully.

Again I can only thank all of you who contributed so generously. A special thank you to Brian , Jeremy, Chris Ruth and Edward for staffing the stall.
