I went to this last year to this along with Grant, Mike Sith, Andy section 8, Barry x-pack and a couple of others.
It is a good event for families but the vintage offerings is slim and over priced. I'll go this year if other things fall into place but I'm not expecting to.
I would not go to this event for vintage SW but I would go to take children as it is SW.

It is more of a family event and vintage SW is a bit thin on the ground at this show, although I think Star Zone Toys were there last year offering a few vintage items. For me it's fairly local and worth the trip but it's no Farthest From.

First one of these was 2008
It's 10 mins down the road for me so I will be there
It's got busier every year, some vintage, but some good cosplay there usually, and opportunity for autographs
As Rich said, few of us met up last year, hopefully be a few more this year

I completely forgot about that :lol:
I'll most likely be there. It's the bank holiday isn't it? Not doing anything else. Might bring the young lad if he's up for it.
SWFFD is good for cast, cosplay and displays. Not bad for modern bits and bobs. It's the vintage that's way overpriced. You can't beat Farthest From for vintage.
Yep I'll be there Barry be with my lad again
Wasn't there some talk of a vintage section, separately, or have I dreamt that up :?:

Section for OAP s like me :lol:
I'm sure there was talk of a separate section after last year, may have been rich that mentioned it but like I say, may have dreamt it!

Know what you mean, that's why a separate vintage section would probably work.
It was really busy last year,my as got busier every year, bit of a trade off really, it is a Family Fun Day so it's always going to be set up for the kids as well ( like us :lol: ).

It was the echo base guys. An additional fee to get into vintage area as an idea for the future.
Cheers Rich, my sanity is in tact
Just got my ticket.- Looking forward to it again.
Was good fun last year

Last year I arrived with a ticket and by-passed a queue the size of a football field happy days
