RChris Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 Any of you get to York this weekend? I planned to but kidney stones kept me away I just wondered if it was busy or not and if anyone found anything good? I bet it was hot in there.... Quote
Rob Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 I usually go, but this year my daughter bought us a pair of tickets to the Proms on Friday night. What an excellent venue and concert. Quote
Peter Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 Lucky man Rob.My daughters haven't paid for my last few presents.They have learnt well from Mrs Peter. I have never been to the York Coin fair.I can't see it getting that busy with the test/golf going on plus the great weather. Quote

NRP Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 York was really busy on the Friday!!! Unfortunately there was no air conditioning and it was very hot!!! People were walking round absolutely dropping with sweat!! It was very uncomfortable!!! Quote

Peter Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 Never get to the fairs around London,hopefully try for the midlands fair,is this one any good?Hi BennyIt is my favourite.There are quarterly big fairs and the other months about 50 dealers. Quote

RChris Posted July 25, 2013 Author Posted July 25, 2013 I'll be at Wakefield on Sunday. Always about 40 dealers there (and Ms Cretin). Nice hotel just a minute off J39 M1. A quid to get in. Quote
ski Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 Nice hotel just a minute off J39 M1. A quid to get in.not bad a price...do you get breakfast too? Quote
RChris Posted July 26, 2013 Author Posted July 26, 2013 Sure, full english included ......but the hotel does a breakfast buffet if you're there early enough. They do coffee in the dealers room and the hotel bar does food, tea, coffee & booze but all at hotel prices of course. Quote

They do coffee in the dealers room and the hotel bar does food, tea, coffee & booze but all at hotel prices of course.Wouldn't mind going to both of these,if the dates where a bit closer together,definitely stay away from the beer.Last time I had a drink through an auction,it was beans on toast for a month,and the wife not talking to me.....come to think of it,that's not that bad,peace and quiet for a month,and a few inches from the waist.

ski Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 what happened to the plan to get a few folk here to a brummie coin/beer fest?was that not going to be around aug/sept? Quote
Peter Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 I have a red card because of my senior daughter's 18th.....her twin 2 years younger(I can't tell the difference).We can't wait to pack them away. I still hope it will go ahead.Use Laterooms.comOne deal we got was a family room at Ansty Mcdonalds.Full meals and breakfast. £99....they didn't even charge for our wine.Mrs peter had to drag me out of bed and put a boot up my jacksie.I think Coventry hotels are better value.

Accumulator Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 It was the Silverstone Classic weekend for me! Coins have to take a back seat when the sun shines Quote
