Or tell the 'customer' that you're just off to get some fodder, would they like to join me at their expense? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewartingram Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Not if you park at Canley (Coventry ) station as I always do, very cheap return fare to International station. I'm told Tile Hill may be better as more trains stop there. Stewart Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last time I examined this option it did not. Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll probably be on it myself. http://tickets.londonmidland.com/lm/en/JourneyPlanning/MixingDeck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lmsforever Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Payment for contracted operators ,one bowl of rice and cold tea ,readily available from NEC outlets. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted November 15, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 15, 2012 I think I will have to put a limit on the amount my operators can buy as we have to fit the layout, four of us plus overnight bags and purchases in one vehicle to get home!! Phatbob will be OK as he will be in his own vehicle heading North. I remember doing Wigan one year...three 4CEPs to fit into the car on way home!!

I should be their for when the door open as long as i wake up. Hopefully we'll wake up in time too - exhibitors have got to get to the NEC for breakfast before the doors open at 9.15 and our hotel is twenty minutes away up the motorway. That's like work!

chrisf Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 I'm not sure that there is, Richard. Coombe Barton very kindly made the badges for Members' Day and very swish they look too! Before that I used to wear a lanyard round my neck with a clear pocket in which was a piece of paper with 'chrisf' printed on it and a now superseded [i think] RMweb logo. If you don't have a lanyard the sort of delegate badges available from most High Street stationers will do fine. I cannot speak for other inmates but I don't bite, though there are those who say that I suck, and always welcome the chance to put a face to a name.

I cannot speak for other inmates but I don't bite ... and always welcome the chance to put a face to a name. Hi again I have checked there is no name badge on the site but on the good side the map for the show is now on the warley web page In my case, directions are one thing I won't need - I was in Hall 5 very recently. However, a hall plan is likely to be very useful. As for a name badge - or a lanyard - I shouldn't have much difficulty finding them. This makes a change from trade shows, where I prefer to keep the things available but out of sight. Actually, this isn't quite as mad as it might sound. When I go to trade shows, they're likely to be related to electrical engineering, electronics or instrumentation - and I'm likely to be there for seminars (for which badges often get "zapped" by someone with a barcode reader). I've got no problem with this. Also present at some trade shows are a small number of over-enthusiastic salesmen - who can be seen patrolling the aisles near their companies' stands, in much the same way as great whites are reputed to patrol some coastlines. These guys have never met me before - but this doesn't stop them marching straight up to me, grinning inanely and with their right arms outstretched, then launching into some "in-your-face" spiel along the lines of: "Hi, Huw - I'm ****** - I'm from *****@@**##*** company - and I can do you a great deal on ..." Keeping my badge out of sight kills this nonsense stone dead. It also stops these guys "zapping" my badge and sending me a "rainforest and a half" of unwanted junkmail. Well, that's my excuse - and I'm sticking to it. Anyway, I'm happy to talk to some companies at shows - just not these ones, that's all. As for me wearing a badge at "meet-ups" for RMweb (or any other e-groups, for that matter), I wonder how many people would actually want to know me. After all, some people already think there's something sinister about me (or should that be sinistral - I never did Latin at school - anyway, I always thought left-handedness was a family trait). Whatever the score, I think I've said enough for now. I'm just looking forward to Saturday. Huw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
