I take it after all that, you will not be entering then?
Oh...and you never mentioned the nice Christmas card they sent.

I think not, the whole group of usual attendees here struck it off the calendar before last Christmas owing to the show-making exhibitor charges and I cannot repeat the comments received from various traders and some regular exhibitor friends on the subject that we met at the Malvern Militaria Fair recently, one usual, large promotional stand was significant by its absence.
We feel our MVT colleagues and others running non-commercial shows are more worthy of support than pay-to-enter business ventures, as has been confirmed in writing, see:

In fact what with this and the private responses, received here on variously headed paper from the organisers, with some catastrophic mathematical errors too, I am quite surprised to still be on the file; still, no accounting for taste is there?
No, I'll pay the trucker to take the old dog elsewhere along with the car and caravan to support the remainder of the Shirrell Heath LRDG, who tell me they aren't too keen on paying for an enforced re-enactment of a concentration camp anyway.
I did mention the card you know, its the one that has:
"Organised by enthusiasts for enthusiasts" inside, and the lower left cover picture has a chap wearing a Motorola MDRMN4018 headset, there's a MDH25KDC9AN3-E VHF GP340 hanging on the other end but you can't see that.
All the best
