I'll bring this BTT,

 

16 days left till the Swap, a few tables left. They will sell out, as they do every year.

 

It's 2 frantic hours of buying and selling, and it shouldn't be missed. A lot of fun is had by many!

 

See you all there.....

do you guys ever preview the boats that will be for sale?

 

No, it's a run what you brung event, and as far as previewing what people was bringing to sell, the orginsers really don't or can't do any 'previews'

 

There are sellers calling the orginisers as late as the morning of the event, to try to reserve space for boats, so we can't even tell how many are coming, until the day.

 

Historically, there are 3-4 boats that show up, plus some pontoons. I think one year there were 6 boats. Come and check 'em out, and inside the swap is always worth attending!

Is this address correct? Looking at Google maps it looks like its in a small community with nothing around that could hold this??

I think it's at the Marda Loop community association hall, which has a very large parking lot, and the inside is pretty wide-open. Should be sufficient unless turnout is huge.

It's actually held at the South Calgary Community Association!

Some of us think it's a great event , as your not there

Someone asked the size. I answered.

 

It's a great event for TU and the community, and as mentioned it's not a monster one (and not sure why that is assumed to be a bad thing, smaller events bring more people together .) I've been there many times.

 

Thanks for the great input though.

Just to clarify, to save others the time googling as I did, It appears that both Marda Loop Community Association Hall and South Calgary Community Association are the same place. Perhaps the name has changed at some point in the past.

Marda Loop Communities Association

I used to live a block away. This is correct - the name recently changed (well, a couple of years ago) from South Calgary to Marda Loop.

I stand corrected... It's been a number of years since I was a lifeguard there!!

Just reserved a table. Looking forward to trimming down the excess equipment. Got some rods, reels, and lines to get rid off. Most of it old and well used, suitable for beginners or kids. Cheap. Some free grab bag stuff (line cleaners etc).

 

Looking forward to seeing some of you there!

I have never been but me and the kid are comeing but I just had a question is it like a gun show where I can bring rods and try to make trades on other stuff thanks for your help.

I don't know if there's a hard and fast rule about it, but if it were me I'd leave the rod in my vehicle until I had negotiated a trade with someone. People who paid for a table might not like it if they think you're trying to sell a rod while ducking the table fee.

Seemed like more patrons and a lot fewer tables, would of thought there would be a few shops there ....... extra important in todays economic conditions to support events like this big or small .... managed to score a couple of new C&F saltwater boxes for 20 a piece... now I need to start tying to fill them up before June

Someone left a red jacket at the event, one that I am sure they will want back. The facilities people say it was left in the front closet between 1000 and 1200. Send a PM if you know who's it is.........
