So, after a busy event season in 2015 we are looking forward to our last event for the year....a swap meet with some history.
After many years of staging the event, venuebut now with ill health, falling footfall and the threat of the venue closing the original team decided to retire.
However, fueled with young enthusiasm and energy, two young guys took it on.
Leveraging social media and forums they staged the event last year to a very good turnout and the positive mood was set for a bright future.
Now, in their second year of running they have big plans to grow the event out of it's current venue so to accommodate the increased attendance.
What is this event you speak of Colin? I hear you ask......I give you Slough Swap Meet.
I, and my buddies, have attended SSM for the last 8 years and I've traded there for the last 4 years. So, here we are again...preparing for the one day of frantic trading, eating bacon butties and meeting up with old friends....in fact this has all the ingredients any good swap meet should have.
I will be driving the Beetle loaded with shiny VW stuff to sell.
