News, Views Etc . . . Forthcoming Events

It rolls around quickly enough; this Friday malarky! Another bumper crop of shows this weekend, not so many Auctions in the next week, unless you know better . . .

. . . but if you do and you haven't told me about it, it won't be here will it!

One of the 'Midlands Posse' emailed me to point out that it was the Birmingham Toy Soldier Show last weekend and I didn't list it, but there was nothing in my sources and nothing in my eMail; so it didn't get a listing! As it's all metal, and all glossy-mag' Ad's now, I guess they are advertising elsewhere to other 'types'!?

In the meantime; that I know of . . .
