Couldn’t make last year’s due to a family event. This year’s coincides with my sister’s 80th birthday. I wonder if she’d like to go, as part of her celebrations?

Quite bit of an age difference between you both R - But a special day so do what Rishi would - Go but leave early before the candles are blown out !!!!!!!!

Wow - look at you becoming a dealer - I bet you've got a shed loads of parts - Not sure what paint you still have - But parts sell, be they knackered or okay - Customers love browsing thru' a bits box

And 2/3 mins from home for you

See you there Steve

Yes I'll be selling everything off at bargain prices to clear. Some tools too maybe.

I'm in two minds whether to take any paint. I might as well I suppose.

Just dawned on me - When I say sell 'faulty' parts - I don't mean pull the wool over the customers eyes - What I mean is tell them such 'n' such has a fault, hence only £x - I sold a Whirlwind lead the other day for £2 - It either needed a re-solder or cut back say a foot, then re-solder - It was just an obvious fault near the jack plug end - I could have done it, but couldn't be bothered, so a bit of fun at the show for someone

Like wise I had a Schaller Gibson Nashville bridge - But an E string intonation screw had seized up and snapped off trying to loosen it, so part of the screw was wedged in the saddle - So do you bin it - Someone paid me a £10 for it - Either they could repair it and/or at worse wedge the E string in the right place for correct intonation - Shame to bin it when someone will find a home for it

Customers love to rummage thru' bits and bobs

@guitars4you I'll certainly be going to the show! I hadn't realised how early the show is in August - I'm sure it was much later last year? Anyway, it caught me out a little, given it's only a few weeks away now. Regardless I will see you there and grab you a coffee or two. I'll chat with @CountryDave during the week and see what plans he has. Cheers!

Not sure what plans are in place for early August.
Would like to get along as it’s usually a decent show and of course would be nice to catch up.

Glad to see the weather forecast this weekend is not going to be anything special - Who wants to be in a sport hall on a warm summer day

Yep, looks like it will be around 19-20C tomorrow, so a lot more comfortable than the start of this week.

I think I'll head to the show fairly early, so I've time to head into the city centre later if I feel inclined.

I had a great show, sold a lot of parts and a guitar. An excellent result.

It was great to meet up with Mark, Dixie and a lot of others. Many thanks to @slugelise for being my wingman.

Good to meet so many people and take their money.

Howdy, Stranger!
