    Hi Folks
    
    if anyone is interested, there is a Record Fair on in Basingstoke
    this Saturday (24/9). Venue is the church hall at the top of the
    old town  (opposite the Post Office). This one , i believe, has
    been squeezed in as a special!!! Usual start time is 11:00.
    
    If you require directions, then please mail me.

34.1	Record shop?	SHAPES::STREETR	Well,Well! 2 holes in the ground	`Fri Oct 21 1988 18:23`	9
	Didn't want to start a new topic for this, but its not about record fairs!. I thought I read in some conference that there is a second-hand record shop in B'stoke called "Timebeat Records"....Church Sq? Can someone confirm/point me in the right direction please? Ta, Ray.
34.2	I know where it is!	LARVAE::LUCIE	Make mine a Pint of ESB!	`Fri Oct 21 1988 18:29`	14
	Yep Time Beat Records is in Church Square which is by St Michael's Church. Do you know where Franko's Italian Restaurant is? Do you know where Marks & Spencer's is? If so its behind M&S - there is a road that runs along there, as you drive along that road, hang a right and keep going and TB is on your right hand side. Sorry about lousy directions but not sure of name of road, it might be Mortimer Lane but don't quote me - I walk pass it every day so one never takes any notice!?!?!? Lucie
34.3	?	IMNAUT::HIRD	Bishops Tipple(r)	`Fri Oct 21 1988 21:48`	6
	Is that in the white building next door to that little memorial garden ? Just curious as to what has changed since I left :-)
34.4	Found it!	SHAPES::STREETR	Well,Well! 2 holes in the ground	`Fri Oct 28 1988 09:04`	8
	re .3 Yep its next door to the memorial garden... Found it, I could spend _hours_ in there....eventually came out after 20 mins with an early Steve Winwood album... Thanks for the directions. Ray.
34.5	Recommended	LARVAE::BARKER	Do not fold, spindle or mutilate	`Fri Nov 25 1988 15:27`	16
	After reading this note I went to have a butchers and was very impressed. They have an enormous stock of 2nd hand records in very good condition & most cost about �3-4. They seem to have plenty of 12" & picture disks as well. They also sell T-shirts, badges & other merchandise upstairs although I didn't actually venture there. I had a choice of three copies of 'Back Into The Future' by Man. I bought the one for �4 which I thought was good for a double album, the other copies appeared to be identical in condition but were �8. If you are really, really into the Steve Miller Band I saw about eight copies of 'Book of Dreams'. Highly recommended. Nigel
34.6	Record Fair 3rd December	LARVAE::BARKER	Do not fold, spindle or mutilate	`Fri Nov 25 1988 15:37`	5
	There is another record fair on in Basingstoke which is being organised by Timebeat records. The date is Saturday December 3rd the time is 11:00 and I think the venue is the church hall as described in .0 Nigel
