Radio Auction Chorley 3-6-18

[RobRusbridge]

Specialist vintage radio auction 3rd June 2018 at Adlington Community Centre, Railway Road, Adlington, Chorley PR6 9RF. Close to M6, M61, venue just off A6. Proprietor Rob Rusbridge. Viewing from 9:30 am morning of sale, business commences at noon. Catalogue and previews in due course on my (every expense spared) web site www.steamradios.com where contact details also reside. This is unconnected with any other group or club; this one is my own. Open to all. No need to be a member of anything except the human race. Entries very welcome; hall is huge. I already have some nice things entered, and some vendors are already threatening to enter things for future auctions once they've had time to do some "sorting out" (round tuits are very hard to get), so there seems to be an assumption that it's the first but not the last of these events. Feel free to spread the word. The more buyers and sellers we get, the more likely subsequent events become. Time the Frozen North had a decent auction. Cornish pasties and other refreshments available on sale day. Please come prepared to take your purchases away with you.

Well done for organising an auction. It's a lot of work and it won't happen unless somebody steps up and does it.

This may be a daft question, but is there a secret wormhole in the space/time continuum that links St Austell and Chorley? Ordinary physics (ie google maps) says they are 330 miles apart.

The only worm-holes are those in the bottom corners of the wooden radio cabinets. Ya cannie change the laws of physics, laws of physics, Jim. It's a seven hour drive in a Sprinter van unless you get lucky with the roads. I was looking to start an auction in an area where there are plenty of people but not many events, and the North West came to mind because I adopted my kids from Chorley nearly eleven years ago so I know the area a bit. London and the midlands are already served with auctions.

Got the first six sellers on side. Two are regular and prolific auction sellers. Nice to be taken seriously. Stuff coming from all over; lots from Lancashire, but some from as far away as the pointed end of Cornwall. Some nice things promised. Hope for some photos soon.
