We really enjoyed ourselves. Agree it seemed very quiet and I think they will be banking on a good Saturday. Trade stand lettings also seemed down though maybe some will pull on Friday - crafts half empty it seemed to me. Much better layout though and the changes worked well.

The Beaulieu autojumble has moved this year to clash, most of the lads with the good gear will have gone there.

Thanks for pics David, it seems Launceston is approaching its full quota of McLarens! Rather fond of the Eddison roller.

Agreed - but the same was true of general workers in the main gaff section.

I can honestly say the only stalls Ive ever looked at at Dorset are Autojumble or tools. The rest is the sort of shit you can buy at any market the rest of the year for 2/3 of the price.

I spoke to at least two traders at Onslow who were not going to Dorset because of Beaulieu.

Seemed very quiet numbers wise on Thursday and Friday. One aisle on the trade stands section was virtually empty. Seems a big increase in stalls catering for people with a taste for bling since my last visit a few years back. Also some rather dubious items for sale at the top of the field. Otherwise a good show.
