[QUOTE="JamesB, post: 888217, member: 20408"] Have been somewhat regular going to the monthly vinyl fairs (no entrance fee) in and around JHB/PTA since start of the year and foot traffic is light but decent. Now last July, wife and I went to the Joburg Record Fair at Dunkeld Bowls Club and lo and behold, it was packed. About 2/3 of the vendors were familiar faces from the regular entrance-free monthly vinyl fairs but this time we had to deal with a crowd and pay an entrance fee. I was joking with some of the vendors that maybe they should charge entrance fees at the regular fairs and maybe they'd draw up similar sized crowds... Anyways, my point being - I never thought I'd see crowds at a vinyl fair, more so one with an entrance fee, so who knows, with a clear vision, a lot of guts and some creativity, maybe the time is almost ripe for a HiFi show resurgence. ... :2c:, maybe it mustn't be grand and national to start off but rather intimate and localized, but an event nonetheless, and maybe the 1st and foremost goal is to drum up interest rather than sell equipment off the floor :nfi: [/QUOTE]
