[Previous announcements of this venue's show seem to have included a spurious postcode for Reading in Berkshire, only God (who doesn't exist) or I can know why, and err . . . I don't, so a big 'Soz' for that double-plus typo!]

Heads-Up!
The date for the next Plastic Warrior Show is confirmed as being Saturday 11th May 2019 at the usual venue.
Captain Pugwash
Apropo an email on the ITLAPD posts, someone mentioned Captain Pugwash and it struck me he might be the cartoon character in the unknown premiums, so I had a quick google, he wasn't but I found a useful myth-busting page;

Missed!
Steam
Railway Art
Issuing flyers, at the venue, on the day is
not promotion! It's advertising 'in the moment', and at an isolated
venue (nature of site, not geographic!) with everyone having to walk past the
exhibition after paying their entry fee, you are only going to attract the odd
extra trader/dealer to visit, while they are on their fag/coffee-break? And
they were lovely works!
Promotion needs active effort in the weeks
or months leading up to the event, if you want your even here in time, get
emailing! Two people approached me last Saturday about their events, one gave
me stuff to scan, the other is going to, they will get extra coverage as a
result . . . for free!
