I remember it well, my grandmothers ate my candy floss whilst I was on the archery range. I never trusted them again.  ;D

Not sure there's an archery range now.  Health and Safety.  ::)

I remember taking my son to that funfair over 30 years ago.  We were doing our Grand Tour of the south coast (part 1) in our touring caravan.   :laugh:
