hi dave,
the saddest thing i find with the way beaulieu seams to be going.
is beaulieu has always felt like the last true autojumble in the country. because of whats on offer.
yes there are other autojumbles, before the complaints come in.
and yes ive stood a stall at most of them.
as you say NEC. there used to be a nice quite large jumble there. but it colapsed as stall holders gave up due to lack of takings.
and as you say stoneleigh. but its not a patch on what things were. most of the stall holders wont bring the good stuff out anymore as they couldnt get the prices for it. so the rougher stuff is put out instead.
the same thing with normous newark, malvern, shefield, and many many others.
there was even an event started up over the last few years at coventry rico arena. but not enough public attending, to warrant the stallholders returning.
so even if i stopped attending beaulieu, it would still sadden me to think it was going the same way as all the others.
