Chatham (UK) monthly Fair

[Composite]

'any Brits out there looking for something to do on a Sunday morning there are still Fairs to be found!

We went to Chatham Docks yesterday having heard that this monthly event was running (amid masks, hand gel, social distancing blah blah) - it's as good as ever and very well attended by the usual dealers (no, I don't have anything to do with this Fair). It opens at 7.00am which is great for early starters...we left at 8.30 and a queue was building (presumably to get through the health checks and the personal details recording). As usual, if you're more at home in Air-Conditioned carpeted Conference Centres full of ol' boys shooting Youtube videos of stuff in glass-fronted Walnut cases you can't afford don't bother....but if you want to get down'n'dirty with "stuff" and like-minded folk hit the M25!

Having missed 95% of this years Fairs it was great to get out again.......I'd advise checking their web-site nearer October's Fair just to make sure they're still going strong.

The process (when we arrived at least) was:-

- spaced queue
- Mask-up
- temperature check and hand gel
- move up to entry desk, pay and hand over name and contact phone number
- one-way traffic, masked inside
- exit and re-entry kept separate and managed

...and great fun was had by all.......
