The December edition of The Fairground Mercury, the quarterly magazine of the Fairground Association of Great Britain, has been posted to all members of the FAGB. In this 40-page, full-colour issue members’ photographs celebrate this year’s back-end run, Roger Mills completes his survey of the last 60 years, Ian Trowell looks at fairground art inspired by the rave culture, and Mike Willis lists all the recent machine changes. In addition there are articles on what was once Dorset’s most famous fair, the history of the Pelham family, and fairground modelmaking. And lots more!
The Fairground Mercury is sent free each quarter to all members of the FAGB.
