Willow Park and Rainford Craft Fairs and the Organ & Steam Fair in Widnes (right) were well-supported as usual and provided us with opportunities to exchange information and archive material as well as increasing the funds from the sale of stock. In June we were invited by IWA Chester Branch to attend their Canal & River Festival at Anderton. This was an excellent weekend despite the freak winds that flattened half the site on Sunday morning. The stallholders worked together to restore order and it was business as usual when the visitors crowded in.
The IWA National Festival (left) was held this year at Autherley Junction near Wolverhampton. We have visited this spot often by boat but it was a change to explore it on foot. The original campsite and car park flooded just before the event, and campers were relocated to the racecourse, with the showground a 30 minute walk or bus ride away. The promised dry weather materialised as the show started and eventually the ground conditions improved. Trade was good over the three days and we were pleased to meet several SCARS' members among the many visitors.
