Carronade, Falkirk - Sat 25th Sept

[Steve J]

I wonder if the lack of a bring'n'buy might have affected attendance, alongside Covid of course. Many times queueing for the Colours show all the talk seemed to be about rushing in to the B'n'B and seeing what bargains could be had. The show seemed an after thought at times. Also after midday it tended to be quieter, which made moving around much nicer.

Perhaps, personally the Bring and Buy is rarely of interest to me, the effort to see anything in amongst crowds and piled up stuff, rarely seems worth it. I find this with sales in most shops too.

I quite like an online sale though!

It doesn't interest me much either, but I'll be the first to admit the room is always pretty crowded while it is on.

I was at Carronade but just for the morning. I would have stayed longer if the Flea Market was up and running as I still have a goodly number of excess painted figures for sale.

I did say 'hello' to several (many) friends, socially distanced of course, and managed to purchase everything I thought I needed.

All in all the Falkirk guys did a great job in getting Carronade up off its bum (can I say 'bum') in somewhat difficult circumstances. Well done lads.

We had a really nice time at Falkirk, it almost felt like a real show!  The masks and distancing didn't really affect things and it was nice to catch up with folks after so long.  All credit must go to the Falkirk club for being the first to take the plunge and run their event.

Pendraken's stand appeared to be doing a good trade, twice a rolled up and the place was jammed to I retired to come back later.
Even after lunch there were queues, so no opportunity for lengthy chat about business, the hobby and he show in general.

Thanks for the chocs as well, I missed you when you came by!
