The stars are in alignment!

Well what a beautiful winters day it was yesterday, a barmy 13 degrees in Marulan with not a breath of wind for our clubs carboot sale, which was very successful I felt. Sound concept with the travellers from Sydney and Canberra surprised by the short trip down.

Myself and Boyd travelled up together from Sunny Goulburn a little late and with good cappacino's in hand. After arrival I immediatly bolted to look at everybody's stuff, like a little kid in a candy stall. After the meet and greet I set up my stuff and went back purusing and buying, firstly some more ww1 1/72 scale aircraft off Rob's table, then some books from the cardinal, then some books, 28mm Greeks and 20mm Paras from Mick, then some vehicles from Chris, and finally some horse and musket civilians from Dave, on the swap and sale side I sold my 28mm chariot wars babylonians, my left over 20mm german vehicles and swapped late medievals for WSS and some ww2 gliders, a bunch of Perry indians for 7YW French Dragoons and a book for a book! Pictures are here

The BBQ was a hit and seemed to be a focal point for the discussion of politics, wargaming, upcoming events and holidays. Much talk of the clubs upcoming events including our "Arnhem" weekend in September and "Lace Wars" in November, along with the modern Rapid Fire "Cold War Hot" weekend against the Maroubra Emirs club

After returning home I handed over all of my cash and settled down to a bit of painting, cooked a very fine rissoto and retired to bed early to read my new books, now I have a hankering to replay Rossbach!

Goulburn Valiant Stormers Swap Meet

Goulburn Valiant Stormers

"White Lead Elephant, car boot swap meet"

24th of July , Saturday 10 am -3pm
8 Railway Parade Marulan.



Weather permitting..it will be quite cold but should be dry...


Bring a blanket card table whatever and all the stuff you are going to NEVER read, paint or play with and sell trade or swap with others of a like mind discuss what you intend to bring or what you intend to pick up on this thread here http://passageoflines.50.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=1220.


We can get about 25 cars into the backyard so there should be enough room? A goodly distance between Canberra (1 hr 20mins) and Sydney (1 hour 40 mins) ..sausage sizzle coffee and tea available at the location and local eateries and coffee are part of the general ambiance.


Bring lots of bags or boxes to carry home your loot and lots of small notes, it is very hard to get change around here . Bring a raincoat and an umbrella and don't park on the railway side of the road, you will get a golfball through your windscreen!

cheers
Matt
