I spent an enjoyable couple of hours at the Havant swap meet yesterday.  I have  attended all bar one of these events, as either a punter, or a seller with a half size collectors table.

Typical swap meet, everyone arrives 20 minutes early and there is a decent size queue..... followed by a few late comers, and then it starts going quiet, but nice to see a some local families arriving a bit later on.

A good selection of traders, big and small. 
Tim from Weevils slot cars had a very good looking stand, Roger Barker also.  Steve Cannon had some really nice bits, including some lovely limited edition Scalextric box sets. 

Plenty of smaller sellers, with all sorts of stuff, and prices!!  The smaller tables often contain some real bargains, and unusual items.

Massive amounts of Scalextric sport track at super cheap prices, if you want to add more Scalextric track to your layout, or for home use then it really is worth checking out a swap meet that is local to you. 

A couple of tracks were set up for a quick blast of new purchases, but no competition type tracks, plus no sign of a Scalextric Havant swap meet Ltd edition car.  Not surprising given the ongoing trouble of getting back up to speed with the main catalogue models. 

For once I purchased very little... 
Scalextric Ford Escort Mk2 Castrol Goodwood Revival, brand new at a good price, plus a super cheap BMW Mini Scalextric model to add to the club fleet and finally a nice red Scalextric Mini 1275GT bodyshell and chassis, for a whole £1,  which will be turned into a short oval Hot Rod.

Good fun, nice selection of sellers and items, well worth a visit.
