It is rather concerning the absence of exhibitors, the models are very nice of course but offers from traders help justify the expense of the cost of travelling, more people than you think are not there also many stands are reduced in size. I fully understand the business costs and pressures, from memory these traders were absent from previous years and no doubt more, Chronos, Proops, Transwave, Arceurotrade, reeves, Camden, Rotogrip and no doubt many more. In my opinion the solution has to lie with the organisers, everyone is in business to make a profit but if things carry on in this fashion there will not be a show to go to. Obviously the cost associated with putting on a show are huge but so are the rewards with admission at £9/£10 a head there needs to be a bit of transparency and some straight talking. Not knocking anybody but it would be a shame to see the show fold, up until recently there was a Kit Car show at Newark however it ceased to be viable and sadly is no more. |

Hi, lads, I can report that the Geordie lads all got home safe and sound after a good day at the show, hope you all did too. It was nice to put faces to names :thumbup: . We were discussing the lack of traders and general slow decline of the show too, its still worth going but for how many more years ? Sad that the cost of the stands seems to be stopping sellers attending. I had good day and plenty banter and a few bits and bob got for the workshop. Cheers Mick |
