Is this the swap meet that was help at The Cameron Centre in Burquitlam?

There were always two. One in the autumn, which was run by one person/couple, and another in the spring, that was run by someone else.
The people who ran the Cameron Centre one decided to retire.

The club I belong to (WCPHA) sponsors both swap meets. There was nothing brought up about the spring swap meet being canceled yet but I do know the persons who looked after the bookings etc are retiring. I put in a message to the President of the club to find out the details.

Interesting.
All sorts of people at the last swap meeting were saying that the Cameron Centre meetings were finished.

Well I guess you were right no spring bash. Just got a note from our Pres and I guess that I did miss a few meetings this spring and missed the news of that. Have to buy more in the yearly show. I did hear that then but was told that you should not believe rumours by the person who looked after it.

Well I got out of there relatively cheaply. FD lens 300/5.6, EF camera for parts but it still works and 3 4x5 wooden negative carriers. I sure noticed the price of 35mm cameras has climbed over the last few years. Not very big crowd as well and by 12:00 it was sparse of buyers.
