    i dont have much to swap, so ill be there with intention to land a few bargains! id like to get my hands on some 66' 50's but im also open to pretty much anything :)

    n00b question, what usually happens at these things? is there a table with a few traders and everyone else just kinda hovers around and socializes? drinking games? musical chairs fairy bread and red cordial kinda thing? i really have absolutely no idea what to expect...

    I have been to all the meetings except the last one and typically there is some trading and some socialising all on the one table. Depending on the time, a meal or snack is sometimes had. Some drink beer and some drink coffee/tea. I drink coffee. It really is a very casual meet up.

    Last meetup was a buyng frenzy compared to the rest of the other meetups.
    I brought stuff along to just show others. My intention was to educate and not to sell.
    I was getting offers I couldn't refuse. So I ended up selling.

    Ask Captain Kookaburra how much people were buying.
    He couldn't even leave his seat! He was surrounded by people lining up to buy!

    Well the auction is a go. People are free to include their own items if they like.

    By popular demand however the auction will kick off at 3:00. Don't know what I was thinking....

    No name tags needed.

    Most of the regulars aleady know each other.

    Just introduce yourself to others and you will be fine.
