Lincoln and Newark fairs

well I hope things are better for the april fairs, swinderby & newark .

I have just had a look at these fairs for april , Swinderby is 9th -11th, newark is 12th -13th, as this is the only time in the year both fairs run into each other , it's of no use to me , so travelling and accomodation / entrance fees ,for us would be around £230 plus spends on items could be best part of £1,000 so not really worth it , it is very bad planning as Shepton mallet has a huge fair on sunday the 8th and malvern has giant fair easter monday 9th , I think these two will be our best bet this time around.

surely you can't include spends on pottery as they are investment in stock?

no i am not complaing about any of the spends pottery or otherwise , and would happily go at other times ,but the dates are in conflict with other meetings that cost far less, if they had another week in the year where they doubled up I would gladly go .

Correction - I have been looking at the IACF fairs only , I can go in october when arthur swallow has oct- 1st 2nd & 3rd, followed by IACF newark 4th & 5Th , probably better weather as well

mixing up swinderby with Lincoln?

we have so many fairs around Lincolnshire it's easily done

Yes you do have more than your fair share
