Good to see everyone enjoyed beaulieu. The wheather helped I think.
Stuart, Interesting you say there were empty spaces. Several people mentioned it at our stall.
The way I look at this one, is last year beaulieu added VAT to the stall rent. And many people reduced the size of there pitches because of it. I noticed The then empty spaces were filled with overseas traders last year. I was interested last year in a lot of what they were selling, but they were not cheap. And didn't want to take offers. I went back to one stall on sunday, and they were complaining of low sales.
This year I thought I would try again with these stalls but most of them didn't return this year.
Many of these were the empty stalls.
I know things can't always stay the same, but beaulieu rises in prices don't help anyone.
Tony.
