Carbon Brush Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Date entered into my diary. The last show was great. A nice easy place to get to and no rip off parking charges. Very helpful retailers and very good displays of all their wares. One problem.....Just how do you find time to wander around all the stands and attend the lectures?

Galileo Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Nick what time do the doors open please ? I can't see it on the website anywhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gfamily Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 (edited) 15 hours ago, Galileo said: Nick what time do the doors open please ? I can't see it on the website anywhere According to the speaker list, the first talk is by Paul Money at 9:30 - which gives an indication of 'doors open' time. Now that'll wake everyone up!

Carbon Brush Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 As I have an inkling to buy something that could do with a chat, look and handle, rather than a web page, I have just taken a look at the exhibitors list. Comparing to last time, it seems there will be a few missing. Rother Valley, Widescreen, Orion Optics (for example I remember from last time) are not on the list.
