Thanks for your replies - I'm still at home so it looks like I won't make it! |

All the fairs are basically the same, just depends how big they are. |

I have to admit I wouldn't go just for East of London - they defintley just there to sell their books. They never seem to take any data base with them. |

Well, I found mine in Buxton to be rather like a car boot sale, loads of tables with people selling old postcards of Brighton and similar, lots of people selling certificate binders (which I was interested in at the time), people selling the facility to have your tree on an 8 foot by 2 foot poster (where are you going to put it?) and most other people bemoaning the fact that they had had little interest in their stalls.and were packing up early to go home. Hardly a lively event to attend, and I wouldn't go to another. |

If you've never been it is well worth it. check with the Societies you have an interest in to see if they are going - some of them take their computers with them so they can check names against their lists. They also give lots of advice and have their CD's and books for sale. There are also lots of other more commercial groups that go. Can be quite useful ( take lots of cash), you can usually buy postacrds, 2nd hand books and acid free folders. Bracknell only costs £3.00 to get in. |

I've noticed that there is a Family History Fair on tomorrow near Crawley. |
