DJ360 6,733 Posted September 1, 2016 Report Share Posted September 1, 2016 I have a vague memory that some sort of Exhibition was held on the Goose Fair Site in the late 60s. It was I think called something like Expo67, although I am aware that the 'proper' Expo 67 was in Canada. Am I imagining things? Col Quote Link to post Share on other sites
