Gwent FHS' web-site is already publishing next year's May Fair in the
diary on its News & Events page We have been running a special coach
trip to the May Fair for the last 3 years or so, so that our members can
visit. We also ran one to the 2 Birmingham Fairs, but with diminished
demand on the second occasion.

And I have seen a number of other coaches either dropping off or picking
up parties of FHS members at the May Fair.

Let's give credit where credit is due
