Well, we are now back from the Spring Miniatura at the NEC, and as always, there is news to be gained from a huge room full of miniaturists and traders. 

Several traders will no longer be trading after this weekend, Perri’s Miniatures had a sign on their table which said it was their last show, and Carol Mann, who does ceramic pottery, was selling much of her stock off at50% discount as it was her penultimate fair.    Carol’s last fair will be in October, so if you are collecting any of her lovely hand thrown pottery - now is the time to get those final pieces for your collection.

Joyce and David Betts of Grandads Playroom, are finally putting up their feet, as this was their last show, their successors were there, chatting away to customers and traders alike, so the name, the products and the range still go on.  We wish David and Joyce a well earned rest in their “retirement” and look forward to them staying in touch from the US of A!
