Midlands show report... Tony Jeffree 10-13-2006

 Just back from the show. Seemed VERY quiet compared with last year,
with various traders commenting that takings for the day were well
down - one major stallholder quoted around 40% compared with the same
time period last year. With Meridienne choosing to charge even more
this year than for stand space, it will be interesting to see which of
the commercial stands decide not to bother next time. What with the
Olympia debacle showing signs of melt-down, it looks to me as if
Harrogate will soon be the only show worth visiting.

Not a lot that was terribly new apart from John's X3 conversion on the
Arc Euro stand. Had a natter with one or two reprobates that haunt
these threads, spent too much on bits that I don't really need...so
situation normal I guess.

Regards,
Tony

Shhh, don't let Simon Boak hear that or he'll put the prices right up and
ruin that too! (if you don't know what I'm referring to try Googling his
name...)

It would never fit in, it's packed tightly into the Harrogate venue and I
reckon the half finished shed he grandly calls the "Northern Events Arena"
is less than two thirds the area. If he crops the show down to the size of
his venue for the sake of greed he'll kill it within a couple of years.
