Crikey Charlie, is it that time of year again?

Yes, "The Scroop" is upon us shortly with a delightful mix of looking at, talking about or buying tools.
The social side of this event shouldn't be underestimated either as its a wonderful place to catch up with old friends and make new acquaintances .
I'm hoping to once again be in attendance with a table display.
So, DON'T book your tickets, it's FREE
DON'T pay for your parking in advance, it's FREE
Light refreshment available but for those with a healthy appetite a pack up is recommended for when the event is over as eating often interrupts the conversation....
Cheers, Andy

I fancy going but it's a four hour round trip.

Even further away for me, which is probably a good thing, as I can't be tempted.
However, when I was teenager, it would only have been a bike ride away.
It always brings a smile to my face , hearing these quaint, old. Lincolnshire village names mentioned. It brings to mind the likes of - Kirkby la Thorpe and Ashby Puerorum.

Do it , Make it a day out , Lots of very interesting hand tools and knowledgable people who
Are willing to speak with you, Take some sandwiches with you as last time I went it was cake only
Not good if you are diabetic .

Thanks for the recommendation - I've put it in my diary. Hopefully I'll be able to make it.

Unfortunately I can't make it this time but hopefully there will be another in the spring?

Also it is not just a tool selling gathering, Lots of tools are not for sale and are shown by their owners with pride, some very rare and " If " they were for sale very expensive . I am nearly talking myself into this.

Where else would I have had the chance to handle a Stanley Nr 1

I've only just joined the forum today, so this is a timely local event.
