THE next Chris Dyer Toy and Trains Fair takes place on Saturday, July 11 at Penarth Leisure Centre.

The regular collector's bonanza returns for a third time this year to Penarth Leisure Centre at Cogan, between 10.30am and 3.00pm with a further date, on October 10 already booked to complete the year's four shows.

Organiser Chris Dyer said, “Our venue in Penarth is ideal for a toy and train sale being large, well-lit, easily accessed from all areas and importantly, Cogan Railway Station is virtually next door and many of our customers make the most of the very frequent and reasonable train services, from so many departure points. We now offer in excess of 120 tables at the show, and these are operated by more than 50 traders from all over Britain with the stock on offer, old and new, being quite unbeatable in quality and quantity as well as in value-for-money. The show is now firmly established as the largest and best event of it's type in the entire Principality”.

Traders present on the day will also be buying and exchanging, as well as selling, and will offer free valuations on a wide range of toy and train related items, without any obligation; they welcome any items being brought in for cash or exchange, so do raid your attics.

Top local caterer and charity fundraiser Rita Limbrick and team will be operating within the show and, as always, will offer both quality and value fare, (by kind permission of the Centre's management).

Chris added, “The show is greatly looked forward to by both traders and customers and it is already fully booked with traders with some travelling from as far away as East Anglia, the East Midlands and North Yorkshire”.
