Wade Collectors' Centre

Christmas Bonanza

Saturday 4th December 1999

Now in its third year, the Wade Christmas Bonanza a firm favourite in the annual Wade calendar, will once again be held at the Official Wade Collectors' Centre in Arundel, West Sussex, on Saturday 4th December 1999.

The Wade team will be in attendance Jenny, Sharon and Kim and the new marketing director Geoff Parkes will be there to answer questions.

On offer will be Oops The Bear (pictured right) with a sad face and bandaged leg, this will compliment last years Oops who had a fall. There are only 300 of them so presumably collectors will snap them up and they will sell out quickly.

Also on offer, C&S are launching their new whimsie size 'Teenies' - miniature size Arthur Hare characters, PC GotcHare, The JestHare and Harestronaut. Boxed and in a limited edition of only 300 sets, the cost is just £20 for the three. It is not expected that there will be any 'Teenies' looking for a new home after the event!

As last year, when the event attracted over 400 collectors to the Centre, there will be another Christmas Lucky dip and a door prize draw as well as the bran tub.

1999 Christmas Bonanza, A Great Success For All!

Around 250 collectors attended the Wade Collectors' Centre for this years event on Saturday and another 80 turning up on the Sunday due to a printing error in the Wades World magazine. There were already 150 queueing by 7 am and when the shop opened at 10:00 the line of hopefuls stretched along the Town Quay and over the river bridge. A fun day was had by all with the Christmas lucky dip and Bran tub proving great favourites again.

Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year to Everyone!
