1. Yes, several.
2, Yes, for me - 100 miles each way. Whether that is worth it is up to you!
Have a look at the Myford site (
www.Myford.com) or the article in Model Engineer (
http://www.model-engineer.co.uk/)
Lots of demo's to watch, several trade stands, no VAT on Myford stock items, years and years of experience to draw on - and free coffee and biscuits! What more do you want?!
Just got back from today's - great fun. Only downside - now considerably worse off financially but with some top gadgets!
