Entry £5 (Gates open at 10:00) Previously; Generic parts in Bike-Jumble seemed to be priced favorably, & services that were on offer there, seemed many, varied & far ranging. Second hand parts, weren't so good last visit, (Being basically Brit bike.) but there were some gems among the stalls... (NOT specifically Revere.) Cafe, restaurant, (Sure I saw a bar.) ices & a few muck trucks on site. I enjoyed my last visit. (But, taking more beer tokens this time, lol!) www.egp-enterprises.co.uk/kempton_autojumble.htm Extracts: - 'Kempton accommodates at least 250 stalls for regular traders and is a very useful venue for enthusiasts having “clear outs.” There is a wide selection of stall locations including many under cover. It has a busy market atmosphere when it opens at 10 am Kempton has plenty of parking, toilets and refreshment facilities. It is easy to find from the M25 and has its own railway station. It is conveniently located for London and the Home Counties.'

London & South East England
Some bright spells across northern and eastern parts to start but otherwise a mostly cloudy day with showers or more persistent spells of rain, especially later. Some of the rain will also be heavy at times. Maximum Temperature 20 °C.
Be Aware
Yellow Warning of Rain 07 Jul 2012, 00:00 Issued at - 06 Jul 2012, 23:10 Valid from - 07 Jul 2012, 00:00 Valid to - 07 Jul 2012, 18:00Further heavy showers or longer periods of rain are expected during Saturday. Although not all places will see the heaviest of the rain, where it does fall it is likely to lead to surface water flooding and some disruption to travel. There remains some uncertainty in the location of the heaviest rainfall, but at this time the southwest of England looks the most likely area to see the greatest impacts, in particular, the red warning area.
The public should be prepared for the likelihood of surface water flooding and some disruption to travel and outdoor activities, particularly in the Amber and Red warning areas. (I couldn't capture the image of map.)
Met. Office.
And naturally Kempton Park Racecourse is in the Amber warning area. (But, it could be worse... A lot of people are stuck in the Red areas...) Don't know what attendance to the market by the sellers will be like... To ALL travelling today; Have a safe journey.

No worries, lol... Kiddi-winks is good! (& event is on bi-monthly.) I wouldn't reckon on attending every event, but worth a look... Next event; Sept 22nd, then Oct 27th. (Hmm, nearly monthly?) Not nearly so many bikes yesterday, (Nor cars.) & therefore people. The traders were in force, many more traders than on my last visit. (Last event was held on same day as 'Beaulieu Spring Autojumble') Not so many private sellers, but a load more Honda parts on offer... & more bikes; Honda's too, but only one Revere. (Sold straight away.)
It didn't rain too badly at the event, (Some heavy-ish showers) But; Chatted with a few of riders who had run into torrential rain en route!
From my second visit, I'd say that; The event could be variable... But still think it to be worth a visit. (I'll post it from time to time.)
