May Fair in Edgemead

The toy and model fair held in Edgemead today was a great success. There were about 80 tables of toys and models on exhibit and according to Graham Ramsay, CMTC secretary and treasurer, 648 people visited the fair. Journalists from the TygerBurger visited and took photographs so look out in the community pages for coverage on the event.

Congratulations to fair coordinator Stephen Norman and team for pulling off such a super event.

The Christmas CMTC Toy Fair of 2007, held at Fish Hoek Civic Centre on 17 December, attracted well over 500 toy and model enthusiasts. One is never too young ...or too old to fall in love with toys and from the the variety of people enjoying the morning event, this was evident.
