Everyone can have good ideas but just telling someone else about it doesn't mean it will happen.
My comment was just about how the Town Hall was marketed and used regularly thirty years ago, but it isn't now.

The model train event is now held in the Sports Centre, but the town centre doesn't benefit from a knock on effect, now it's located there.

People travelled from all over to the collectors/antique fairs etc, which there's probably even more interest in nowadays, due to their populatity on television, and the fact other places host fairs.
