A repost for the benefit of members of this forum.

The Spring 2024 BVWS Biggleswade Meet & AGM is on February 25th. Note that it's a couple of weeks' earlier than last year to avoid date clashes with other events.

Timings: 0900 for stallholders to setup. 0930 for visitors. AGM in side room from 1200-1300. Hot and cold refreshments available throughout.

Details appeared in the Winter BVWS Bulletin, and are also available via the events pages on the BVWS website: www.bvws.org.uk.

Please note that there is no auction, as it's the AGM as well, but there will be a huge table of bargains from the bulging BVWS auction stores instead.

The Weatherley Centre (SG18 8JH) has off-street parking right by the hall, and and free on-street parking very close by. It is located only a mile from either of the two Biggleswade exit roundabouts on the A1. Train services are excellent (under an hour from London), and the station is a 12 minute walk from the hall.

If you want to book tables, there is a link half way down the front page of the BVWS website to print out a booking form to send with your cheque. I will also take bookings via email and bank transfer if that is easier for you. My email is in the Bulletin.

Everyone welcome.

Anyone from Essex going to this please? I cant attend myself but I have some small items for the BVWS stall if they could take them. More details if this is possible. I can meet up of course.

Amusing addition to this request. I did go to the last one and asked a prominent BVWS poster, on that other Forum, if I could bring the items, FREE to the stall, without me having to be there until the end. They have a rule that you have to take items away if they dont sell !

Now I wasnt going to lumber them with a radiogram just a few items, including a handy double bench power supply and other parts that could be carried by this old guy. Anyway I got shunted up the chain of command and no one would say "bring them" so I didnt. Guess they may go to the recycling centre.

The "Rule" from the Museum staff that now run the Bring & Buy is meant to save them from having to take away and store large items that don't sell, which is perfectly fair as they have no "store" to use. In practice, all smaller items that are donated and remain unsold at the end are given away so usually nothing is left. So don't worry about donating smaller items and leaving them. Of course, items that are being offered on a commission sales basis must go back to owners if not sold! So the best way with commission items is to check back before you need to go home, and retrieve any unsold items then, and get payout for any sold items.
I may be helping on the B&B for some of Sunday so by all means drop me a PM if you want any further info.

Thanks Jeremy.

Had I had that clarification back then I would have brought the items last time and they would now be gone.

Never mind , probably not made much money for the BVWS
