Well, what can we say, the Great British Summer
let us down again!!! The forecast for the weekend
wasnt good, but Saturday turned out to be a
nice day, and the evening hospitality was an
enjoyable event, with members joining us for a
delicious buffet and some fun entertainment!For the second year running,
the rain fell on the Collectors Meet, but that
didnt deter our loyal collectors from
making the journey to Arundel to attend the 2nd
event of the year.
The event was once again
held at the Official Wade Collectors Centre, just
2 miles out of Arundel, which turned out to be a
very good move, with the amount of rain that had
been falling. The marquee didnt
get water logged, and our dealers all managed to
get set up and ready for the opening at 10am.
The marquee was full of
Wade with some of the UKs top dealers
exhibiting and there was a fantastic range of
Wade on display.
The show special the
Arundel Mouse sold out on the day, and we
heard of a few gasps of joy when the boxes
were opened and a white moue was
found! The next 6 in the nursery
rhyme range available for the first time, along
with our newest Felix, a miniature figurine.
C&S Collectables sold
their Premier Princess Betty Boop on the day, and
the next addition to the town mouse family was
also available, Grandma Mouse.
The blue mouse whimsie
was given to all those coming into the
show. As always the bran tub was very
popular, with a final flurry to try and get
the last few remaining prizes at the end of the
day!
Take a look at a few pics
of the day, and also the hospitality evening.
(thanks to Richard Wilson for taking some
pictures on the day for us!)
