Re: Beaulieu BoatJumble ...what is happening

Hello there. . . I have never been to the boat jumble, and had pleasant ideas of a great place to find good bits. Why I write is to say that I am new into the boat game( restoring a Royal Navy Fast Motor Dinghy-1953), but before, I used to build and race old MGs. I had a stall at the Autojumble in September for about 20 years, but the event steadily turned into a poor shadow of it's former self. . .ie- very few real private enthusiasts. . . .specialist professional stalls who had sucked up all the bits from us, . . divided into stalls for each section. . .and set the prices.-to suit them of course. Add to this the rubbishy trash stalls, kids model stalls etc etc, and it became no fun at all. Believe me we had had great times, but I'm afraid that was the end of the post-war clearout, and everything now has an official price. You might as well cruise the ebay or the professionals in their shops. . . .OR. . . . .make it yourself !
to answer your query Gary. . . . .that's whats happening.
sad but true.. . .it's even worse in France. believe me.
