Despite the promised heavy showers the Christmas
Fayre went ahead on the 4th December at 10.00am
Sadly one couple of sellers who arrived late were in a furious mood with each other and decided to pack up and go home. The trouble is that others took it as their cue to go early spoiling it for other sellers.
The day was good for most people I spoke with and some sellers took very good money.
Thank you to all our customers buyers and sellers who supported us on the day.
We have had a rotten season at Falmouth this year what with having less use of the grassed area than any year before and the dreadful state of the grounds and road.
Today I went to see if it would be safe to use for FRIDAYS Car Boot and the grounds are laden with snow and widening potholes.
The Council own this land and should invest by putting right the damage done over several years by their own contractors.
PLEASE in the interest of Public Safety and the Falmouth Community.
Our SPECIAL CHRISTMAS Car Boot/Flea Market/Arts & Crafts/Fun Day/Fancy Dress Fayre
Saturday December 4th from 10-00 am to 5-00 pm
For those who have booked and paid in advance where possible receipts have been sent with further information about the event.
If you are selling you may arrive from 8.00 am and we will direct you to your selling area in the Exhibition Hall. You may drive in and once you have unloaded please move your vehicles to the Car Park at the rear of the building.
Remember to put your table into your car last thing you will need carrier bags, change, felt tip pens, sellotape and cards to write your prices. See HOME PAGE 1-20
Put some warm clothing on and make sure you wear comfortable shoes with at least two pairs of socks and a hot drink for when you arrive. Full Catering is provided and good toilet facilities are available! Listen to me WRAP UP, bring a blanket!
The bookings are going well for this event, the weather will play it’s part but we are indoors and have well advertised. There will be BARGAINS GALORE from some of the stalls doing Car Boots and other traders for the first time!
Don’t forget the FANCY DRESS but above all be positive for the day to be successful for YOU!
Enjoy yourselves!

Well we tried!
The ground conditions looked promising but after seeing a couple of poor VAN drivers skidding and ripping up the grass I decided that it was time to end the season.
Thank you to all our buyers and sellers who have supported Mitchell Car Boot over the years and we look forward to meeting up with you again at the new season which will commence in April 2011
