Yes, it's on.... next Saturday October 1 at Novotel in Hammersmith. Admission at door £1.50. .... runs 2pm to 4pm. it's advertised in last week's Boxing News.

I went along last year.... got "moving" around 3pm when the various "faces" started to arrive....

By the way, according to the ad in BN it runs 2-6pm....there's also a short article in BN that says 2-4pm. I suspect it'll begin to close off from 4:30-5 onwards and gravitate to the bar....

I usually go every year and it seems always to run 2.00 till about 6.... with people packing away their stuff from about 5.00/5.30.
You can sometimes get good deals in the last hour or so! 8)

Went last year for first time after spending year on year "meaning to go".... Bought Mickey Vann's book and Michael Watson's story, both signed. Talked to Vann for a while.... it was the day of the Trinidad - Mayorga fight as I recall, and both of us picked Mayorga...so much for knowing a bit about the game!

Will be hanging wallpaper this weekend, massively behing schedule so have to give the Fayre a miss I'm afraid!

Enjoy it!
