Jim My dad works there, I used to work there yet I never knew it was on last year, I suppose where I hadnt started researching then I probably didnt think twice about it. What sort of things can you pick up there and is it cheap or expensive. Im worried im going to overspend. Debbie

Hi Debs, I suppose each Fair is dependant on the Exhibitors. There were a number of Commercial Stands, Charts, Books, Microfiche/film readers etc, and some Amateur Stands, Family History Societies etc. I bought a CD of Isle of Wight Parish Registers, some old maps and books. Jim
