Crofton Posted April 2, 2019 Author Share Posted April 2, 2019 Thanks Nobby. I think we've got a good line-up this year with three debut layouts as well as other excellent ones to see. Hope for a good turnout to swell the profits for Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PenrithBeacon Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 i notice that this show and the NESCOT show are on the same weekend. I'm pretty sure that this wasn't the case in previous years, but perhaps I'm wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crofton Posted April 18, 2019 Author Share Posted April 18, 2019 I think we've clashed for years as I have tried to get exhibitors/traders that go to NESCOT but failed! Chris 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crofton Posted April 26, 2019 Author Share Posted April 26, 2019 Busy day today getting all ready for tomorrow. Marking out this afternoon before traders and exhibitors arrive. Looking forward to seeing three new layouts and an excellent day tomorrow. Chris 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted April 26, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 26, 2019 Better get the layout in the car while the sun is out too as it’s looking damp later! See you in the morning. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foulounoux Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Just a couple of observations from yesterday as First time visitors Having come into the main area where the restaurant is we had to ask someone in the lunch queue to find out where the exhibition was as its in a second hall. Couple of signs would have been beneficial On entering the hall we were hit by overwhelming heat. Now that may have been because having been out shopping in Fareham we were cool from the wind but it seemed to be very hot Found the layout of the exhibition very good with all the main layouts in the middle and traders around the edge. I know many exhibitions follow this approach but combined with arriving at a quiet period everyone at lunch made negotiating the exhibition very easy regards colin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
