“Don’t they know it’s Christmas time at all?” Well, it currently isn’t in my book although I see Tesco disagrees with me but Sunday is the 1st of December so I think it is safe to spotlight the Christmas Programme fair in Kensington.

The organiser, Barry Dixey tells me that it is shaping up to the biggest ever. It is completely sold out and we even have an international exhibitor….. all the way from Poland! Lee Hermitage from N W M Football will have only a small selection of his stock on display and Les Easterbrook will have a huge display of badges available. Top guys. They can even talk music to you! Ray Margetson has launched a new book this week and I am hoping to catch up with him for an interview. Watch this space.

Andy Trailer from Cobblers Collectibles is back with plenty of non league programmes, pre 1960 league programmes, badges and pennants. Mark Barnes is a co-organiser and has a special offer on shirts. He asks that you let him know in advance if you are looking for anything special so he can be sure to bring it. His number is on the poster, above.
