Location and Directions
To reach the Collingwood Centre leave the M6 at junction 7 going south along the A34 (Birmingham Road). At the A4041 turn left at the junction of the Scott Arms Shopping Centre onto Queslett Road. Continue over the first roundabout (ASDA is on your right) and at the second roundabout turn left into Collingwood Drive. The Centre is along Collingwood Drive on your left.
If you wish to stay overnight, the nearest recommended hotel is the Birmingham Great Barr Hotel, which is only a few minutes from the M6 and just a little further on from the Collingwood Centre. See Newsletter for Map.
ANNOUNCEMENT
At the cover fair last year it was bought to the attention of the Committee, by a stand holder, that certain dealer members were actively selling covers to members even though they did not have a table.
The dealers taking a table at the cover fair are paying for their tables and we do not think that non-paying dealers should potentially take sales away from those paying dealers.
There is no objection to members exchanging covers between themselves, or selling to the stand holders, and we do not wish to discourage this practice.
Whilst we know that we cannot stop this practice, we would please ask that if visiting dealers wish to deal directly with other members then this should be done off of the premises.
Thank you the GBFDC Committee.
