Chris Perkins Posted May 8, 2005 Posted May 8, 2005 This offer is aimed entirely at the younger members, particularly the regular faces in here.Some money has been made available by another forum member (who shall remain anonymous, unless he comes clean in here) to pay for attendance to the the June 11th London coin fair. Travel expenses (train or petrol money) for you and an adult guardian will be covered, as well as the admission fee into the fair.Those interested in applying for a Predecimal.com Coin Fair grant should be in full time education (so, yes, that includes you Sylvester old man!) and should be an enthusiastic young collector preferrably from mainland Great Britain (sorry NI).Talk in here, or PM me.(The 'London Coin Fair' is on Saturday 11th June, at the Holiday Inn, Coram Street, London WC1. I'll be there selling stuff, so will Andy Bruce, and no doubt other familiar faces! Be there, or be a Churchill Crown) Quote
Chris Perkins Posted May 9, 2005 Author Posted May 9, 2005 But it's a saturday, you can spare a few hours surely? Quote
Emperor Oli Posted May 9, 2005 Posted May 9, 2005 I wouldn't want to go for just a few hours because it's four hours there, four hours back. I think I'll try to get down for a long weekend whenever the next one is - Septemberish I think? Maybe fly down too. Quote
Master Jmd Posted May 9, 2005 Posted May 9, 2005 I will have to miss this too, sorry.Reason 1: I will not have enough money by then.Reason 2: I may be going whenever the next one after that is. Quote
Chris Perkins Posted May 9, 2005 Author Posted May 9, 2005 Ok, well if I have money left, I'll cover your expenses for the September one, Oli. Quote
Sylvester Posted May 9, 2005 Posted May 9, 2005 Nice timing for me personally.I just hope i'm gonna have enough money left! Otherwise i'll have to come back with an Edward I penny... Quote
Emperor Oli Posted May 9, 2005 Posted May 9, 2005 Just done a bit of research. For the fair in November (not September as I thought), to stay at the Holiday Inn where it's held is only £94 for two nights for two people. You can't get better located than that! Quote

Chris Perkins Posted May 9, 2005 Author Posted May 9, 2005 Yes I thought so, but I was just making it clear.If you can't go to the June one Oli and JMD, then hopefully there'll be something in the kitty left for you come November. Quote

Emperor Oli Posted May 11, 2005 Posted May 11, 2005 To the people who have been before, what's the kind of ballpark figure you spend? Do you spend more than you plan? Is there lots to choose from?I realise it varies event to event at Coinex, but on average. Quote
