Your Chairman’s Report on the Scale Weekend
Well, what a weekend, very much dominated by the weather once again. Saturday was wet and windy but the car boot sale started extra early (about 8.30am) due to the wind and rain the numbers were down but still there were some bargains to be had and those that did turn out were rewarded with […]
