ModRXsouth Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Great news that this show is returning in 2024. Hoping the plans include the useful bus connection between Chatham railway station and the dockyard? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wainwright1 Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 Hi James. Did you get down to Eridge on Saturday ? We were exhibiting in the waiting room and had our sales stand out on the platform. We were hoping to have a chat with you about your show. Look forward to hearing from you.

jonhall Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 Do exhibitors still need to bring an umbrella to keep the rainwater off their stands, and several pallets to compensate for the terrible levels of the floor? The old exhibitions in the rope walk warehouse were great, but the move into the covered slips was awful! Jon 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Well unfortunately the move to the slip wasn't a club decision it was a dockyard choice as the fitted rope walk warehouse was turned into offices. Regarding the slip as it is now. It has been resurfaced as it is now used as a car park so the surface is alot better and flatter. And the roof has had alot of work done to it. They also now hold a gaming festival in the slip. Which I'm pretty sure if it wasn't fixed would not happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are in talks currently of hiring out a car park across the road which we will be doing free parking for show visitors 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
