End of
Greenhill's Napoleonic Fair

Thanks and Farewell

by Russ Lockwood

We received the following:

NAPOLEONIC FAIR - THE FUTURE

Greenhill Books have sponsored and managed the Napoleonic Fair since it started ten years ago and cannot, alas, continue to do so.

Greenhill Books would like to thank everybody who has made the Napoleonic Fair such a successful event in the Napoleonic calendar.

Speakers who have been kind enough to present talks at the Napoleonic Fair include (in alphabetic order, for it is impossible to place them in any other):

    Paul Britten Austin
    David Chandler
    Bernard Cornwall
    Christopher Duffy
    John Elting
    Ian Fletcher
    Charles Grant
    Paddy Griffith
    Peter Hofschroer
    David Markham
    Jonathan North
    Andrew Roberts
    Ian Robertson
    Digby Smith
    Ben Weider

Eight exhibitors who have been at every event since the Napoleonic Fair started are Bonaparte's, Caliver Books, Greenhill Books (of course...), Hersants Military Books, Spellmount, Ken Trotman, Robin Turner and Worley Publications, and all exhibitors are thanks for participation.

Amongst the regular standholders Greenhill Books have permitted a number to exhibit on a complimentary basis, and over the years one of these complimentary stands has been the Sharpe Appreciation Society.

The war games have for many years been under the direction of Stuart Asquith, and groups presenting war games have included the Loughton Strike Force, the Napoleonic Gamers, Southend Wargames Club, the Naval War Games Society and the Rayners Lane War Games Group which has included Charles Grant.

Warm thanks go to the Napoleonic Association who have participated since the first event, and have exhibited and encouraged re-enactors to participate.

Paul Chamberlain has been the friendly and helpful face, with colleagues, who has manned the reception desk.

And finally thanks go to all the visitors who have come from all over Great Britain and also France, Germany, Belgium, Spain and the United States.
