If I'm ever that way when one is on, then I'd gladly pop in.

Before and after pictures of the BECG stall. There was actually a lot more stuff than shown in the "before" picture.

Didn't take much home! The only big item that didn't sell was the Bose Acoustimass 5 speaker system. This is a high quality stereo speaker system with a fairly hefty woofer unit plus 2 small separate tweeters. Visible towards the left of the "after" photo.

Museum Bring & Buy Results:
I have just heard from Richard Stowe, Chairman of the BVW&TVM, who was in charge of the B&B stall. He has just banked £1400 from the event. That is a record result, and reflects the effort put in and the much better numbers this year. Thank you everyone for bringing your goodies, both for sale and donation.
The sales commission only makes up a small fraction of this total, with the bulk being from incredibly kind donations. But for many visitors, a real Bring & Buy is a key feature of the event.
Once again, thanks all for supporting the B&B.

Very good result. As Jeremy correctly says, most of the total is from the generous donations rather than the commission sales. It's amazing how all those £1, £2 and £5 items add up - there are lots of them.

Not quite a record as my notes say the B&B made £1562 in 2018. I think that genuinely is the record. It was £1220 in 2019 and £1302 in 2017. Without looking it up, I think it was often around £1000 in previous years.
