Maddock Toys News
There's always lots of
interesting things happening in Cliff Maddock's 'World of Toys'!
Toyfair Scene
Cliff Maddock is involved
(with colleague John Willcocks, trading as Big Southern Promotions) in the promotion
of a series of fairs in the south of England, comprising the following
events:
(1) A
trains-only fair of up to 120 tables, with exhibition layouts, at Court Moor
School, Fleet, Hampshire.(Castle
Street, off Reading Road South GU52 7RY) The next event will be held on Saturday 11th.
December 2010.
(2)
A quarterly friendly evening general fair at Petersfield, Hampshire (Festival Hall), the next event being on Wednesday 27th.
January 2010. This
has developed into one of the best evening fairs in the South of England.
Big Southern Vintage rolls on to ever
greater heights!
The above fairs are in addition to the well established vintage-only Reading Vintage Toyfair, which is
held twice-yearly. This fair is now in its nineteenth year and can
justifiably claim to be perhaps the best vintage fair in the
world. The event is held at The Rivermead Leisure Centre on
Reading's Thames-side riverbank. Over 150 stalls are regularly booked,
but enquiries from new stallholders are still welcome. The event is
also noted for the variety of exhibitions which are also on display (working
models, static displays, etc.). Spare parts for many old toys are also
usually available. The next event will be held on Sunday 21st, February 2010
The Thames Valley Group
..... of the Hornby Railway Collectors'
Association meets on the second Wednesday evening of each month, mainly at
Mortimer, Berkshire. (Members only).
Future dates are to be found on the 'Dates' page.
.... I also promote
occasional meetings purely for the enjoyment of Binns Road products. Please contact me
for further information if you are a Hornby 'purist' and would like to enjoy
Hornby amongst fellow enthusiasts.
