   We are still in the same venue and the same two halls as last year, which are flat and easily accessible for wheelchairs, mobility scooters & prams.
    
   We now have an Exhibition of 31,000 square feet, this has enabled us to alleviate the problem of overcrowding and equally important we have a Coffee Shop / Refreshment Area within the larger LTA Hall.
