Airedale posted:My first York........I spent just as much money with the bandit meets as I did in the actual show. The sellers were absolutely great outside in the car park and I met some again inside. Very friendly, very helpful and I never heard a wrong word. It seemed to me the sales were brisk and prices very fair. Everyone had the time to chat with me and give me free advice and help. It's these bandit meets that would get me back to York again.
Its to my understanding that the public are allowed in the bandit meets?
Correct. Since you attended, you know there is not any kind of TCA badge or membership ID checking as you peruse the tables at the bandits.
They have no association with the TCA, though some sellers do both the bandit meets and the TCA meet. (at least a few stopped doing the bandits when the TCA meet went to 3 days, and others may have gone the other way, only doing bandits if they did not like the 3 day format for the main meet)
