2 April - Piece by Piece South Hants
Organised by William Howard
Main Hall, Community Centre, Petersfield, Hampshire
Petersfield is on the main A3 between Guildford and Portsmouth and the A272
between Midhurst and Winchester. It is also easily accessible from the A27/M27
South Coast road. Rail connections are good as it is a major station on the
Waterloo to Portsmouth line.
The Community Centre is just outside the town centre and has ample free on-site
parking. It is about a 10 minute walk from the railway station (allowing for
carrying heavy Lego bags).
The Community Centre is on the corner of Ramshill and Tor Way (top right on the
map)
Multimap
(In the following ‘exhibitors’ includes sellers.)
The hall is available from 9am for exhibitors to set up, and we must be gone by
5pm. The show will be advertised locally and open to the public from 11:30am to
2pm. Entrance will be free to exhibitors, a small charge may be made to the
public.
The plan is to have three larger display areas interspersed with smaller display
tables and seller tables. I am trying to get two or three main sellers arranged
to attend, but all exhibitors are encouraged to bring sets/parts/etc to
sell/trade and there will be no charge for this.

Quote of the Event
“No! Not the honey camels!” Liam, Sunday morning, after a very disturbing dream.
Stories and anecdotes
- Ian: Have you seen the amazing LEGO display at the Toy Museum in Cockermouth?
Phil: Yes, it’s mine.
Phil then digs around in his collection of paper and shows his reciept of loan letter from said Toy Museum. - Anon: Can I have a look at your parts?
Anon 2: I beg your pardon? - There was a small pilgramage (Carbon60, Liam, Ian, Richard and Tony) to Busy Bee. They kindly stayed open late as their stock was lovingly examined and fondled. It was a bit of a spiritual event really - one of the last true toyshops around. Pics soon!
- Anything written to /loc/uk/, alternatively mail me and I’ll put them up. That goes too if you see any inaccuracies or misremembered stuff!
