Do we? I went to one in Lichfield a few years back that was really well attended but I never heard of another. The southern ones seem to go really well and Peaty's bike bash attracts thousands. If there isn't a local one surely there is enough demand for one?

I remember going to one way back in early 2000s at fenton manor. Not a clue if any happen these days would be interested in finding out myself.

Personally i think this need a bump, to get some-one to organise one (not me though!)... I've a garage load of bits that aren't worth the added postage costs.

Turns out there was one in Stafford this year but looks like turn out was poor and they might not do another.

One down south would be nice as well. Loft filled with wheels and bits.

If there was enough demand I would consider putting one together, I have a location I could use not far from the Chase? If all went well could lead onto an monthly/other month event.

I've got a tonne of stuff not worth posting but worth selling.

Interested in the FoD one too will keep an eye out.

There has got to be, a bit of spamming on here, facebook and at Cannock etc and I'm sure we could get a decent turn out.

I'll start the cogs turning I think. Quick Q for those interested - Would Aldridge be okay location wise. Around 20 mins to Cannock for a ride after? If not I'll look for a suitable place closer to Cannock

There was one in Fradley, on 8th Oct Ross. Not sure what turnout was like, as I couldn't make it.
Not sure if there's any more planned, but keep an eye on the Lichfield ReCycle faceache page as it will be on there for sure.

So it looks like we've got a few events spread out, would be better if there was one larger, regular event well advertised. I'll see what I can do location wise and post back here - got a few ideas in the pipeline

I've found a potential location for an early December jumble, perfect time to raise some cash before christmas.

If I managed to arrange all this, who would be interested in having a table? It'd probably be £10 for a table just to cover costs and probably £1 entry.

Be carefully with a pre-Christmas one because I know with the Mud-dock ones in December they were always very quiet.
Mattsccm is the Forest one on a Saturday or Sunday?Cheers.
