Maritimes Bicycle Show/swap

Submitted by Wayne.Gillies on Sat, 02/27/2016 - 12:51

 I want to contact the collectors in the Maritimes in view of setting up a show/ swap in a central area possibly Moncton or Truro or ???.  If you are interested, contact me at bmwchev@msn.com.  In any event, it may open up the chance that those fairly close could visit each others collections.  I am in Truro and Parrsboro

 

Cheers, Wayne

Wayne, let's do it in QC, so all the ON, QC and Maritime collectors can meet at once

Max;  My intention is to make it a local event, centrally located for the Maritimes in Moncton or Truro, to save travel for the locals.  If it should get off the ground, and you are interested, you are more than welcome to attend.

Wayne, have you tried Kijiji? In the buy-and-sell, bikes, section of Kijiji, you could post a wanted ad, simply asking bike collectors to contact you regarding organizing an event. Then you could compile a mailing list. You would find people this way who are not on the Facebook groups. You could post a seperate ad in each of the Maritime province Kijiji pages. The only complication comes from Kijiji blocking people's email addresses. You would either have to just gauge interest from the replies you get and leave it at that, or direct them to a website if you have one, or exchange phone numbers and get their emails that way. Good luck with it. If I lived in the Maritimes, I would go!

Thanks Brian:  

A capital idea which I will follow up on.
