Snowbound yard
Moreton in Marsh, Gloucestershire - EVERYONE has inevitably been affected by the recent weather. 'Adverse Weather Conditions' already seems to be the catch phrase for 2010! Peter Watson of Cox's Architectural Salvage Yard questions, "How is the trade coping with this blanket which seems to have closed much of the country down. 12 - 15" deep here in the Cotswolds and likely to frrreeeeeze in situ for another 7 days . . .

Reports of a booming Salvo Fair
JOAN PORTER of the Antiques Trade Gazette reports on Salvo Fair on January 16 saying that the Salvo Team are expecting 6,000 visitors to the 2010 fair. The number of stands will be capped at 75-80 and most of these will be reserved for antique and reclaimed materials. Ruby Kay said, "We want to make sure visitors have enough money to go round the number of exhibitors. As visitor numbers increase, we will increase the number of exhibitors. Exhibitors re-booking tend to reserve bigger pitches so, even with the 80-stand cap, we expect to see the fair grow in scale . . ."

Chateau de Versailles, Versailles France - THE PALACE of Versailles is displaying a major exhibition dedicated to Louis XIV until 7 February 2010. It is the first major exhibition devoted to the king's personality and personal tastes. Louis XIV saw himself as a king who was the protector of the arts and a collector, and the richness of his image arguably has no precedent in history.
