Stroud Vintage - You Think Your Business Is Safe? Think Again!

May 7, 2010 - PRLog -- Ashley Hall Fairs of Lincoln & Swindon have swooped in and block booked a couple of years in advance without first consulting Stroud Vintage.

A quote from the Stroud Vintage website:

'Sadly our Stroud Vintage Fairs have been hi-jacked by Lincoln and Swindon based Ashley Hall Fairs run by Sallie Ead and Sue Harris. Just seven weeks after our fifteenth Stroud fair, Ashley Hall reserved two years in advance without giving us prior warning of their plans, thus rendering our continuation untenable in a town the size of Stroud.

We're sure you will enjoy their fairs as they are presenting most of our regular stand holders. Please remember that we are not responsible for the higher entrance fee or any other organisational or structural changes. 

The original Stroud Vintage will continue to be represented through our Stroud Vintage shop at 30 High Street, Stroud and Time After Time at 4 College Court in Gloucester. (Unfortunately we will not be showing at the new fairs, as we were not invited to attend by Ashley Hall...)

But, despite these setbacks, we are planning new Gloucestershire Vintage events in 2010 and beyond - please join our mailing list if you would like to keep up to date with all the developments.

Finally - many thanks for your support over the past four years, while we were growing our Vintage Fairs in Stroud. And special thanks to our ever faithful porters, all the staff at The Subscription Rooms and The Space - our best wishes, David, Sandra, Ann & Toby.'

Local support for Stroud VIntage is mounting and it will remain to be seen how the future lies.
