Hi Dean, I am hoping to be there, work permitting... Funny how the unimportant things always get in the way.
I've missed the last couple on account of these pesky money making activities but I am tryi ng my best to make the boss see how it is important for me to be there.

I'll be there, weather permitting.

Rumour control has it that Charlie Fitton and Stewart Loy may show up.

This is one of the semi anuual OMVA swap meets we have. You may see the odd vehicle. but that is usually reserved for the Summer Show.
The swap is a great meeting place for like minded mv and militaria collectors.
At the show there are several tables of misc militaria but catering mostly to mv parts and accessories. From WW1 to current.
You never know what may show up.
This is held at the Acton Legion.

If all goes accordingly, I shall be there on Saturday. A good chance to see all my pals again and offer up some bargains....
I have dug deep into the archives and have been buying up some odd and ends to replentish my stock. I should have something for everyone. I have found a few odd items that we don't see everyday that will be on offer.
I will have mv parts, radio items, web gear and militaria as well as some collectable out of print books.
-Chris

1915 .303 cloth bandoleer, a little rough but well marked and authentic Canadiana. I thought of you when I came across it.

Acton Legion, Wright Avenue Acton Ontario.
Take Hwy #25 north of Hwy 401, exit at Milton.
In Acton, turn left at traffic lights onto Mill St. Follow a couple blocks to Wright Ave which is on your right side. Legion at end of street

Charlie,

The "no" response was very funny, but . . . . .

Fire extinguisher $20

Gas for trip $60

Watching you Charlie try to write me (in error) a cheque for something you had screwed up a while ago . .Priceless

And yes there were witnesses!!

thanks for making my trip worthwhile Charlie

Thanks to all the antendees of the show this past weekend!
It is always nice to see everyone, talk green stuff and b.s. a little bit.
Overall, the weather co-operated and I think it was a successful show.

Pas de Problem - You should have taken the money. Then it would have been priceless plus...

Land rover photos when I can get 'em.
