That must be virtually on your doorstep, Steve. It's even within travelling distance of my parents' house in Matlock Bath, might have to nip over in March - I haven't been to a woodworking show in years.

 

[gregmcateer]

Thanks for the heads up.
Will start the negotiations with SWIMBO immediately

 

[Newbie_Neil]

Excellent news.

 

[Racers]

If I have any of my birthday money left I will pop along.

It is nice to have a local one!

Yes it is

 

[Steve Maskery]

Yes, fair enough
But actually it's not a bad venue for a lot of people. Only just off the A1 and only half an hour off the M1.
I might operate a B&B for a day or two

Jacob, you could have made your point without without being offensive to every woodworking supplier.
Enjoy your day, however you spend it.

+1 no one is forcing you to go jacob, even the suppliers have to PAY for the privilege of having a stand to show off their wares, and the show ground needs to make many or go under the same as all venues.

Double room for the weekend please.

 

[Steve Maskery]

Even I don't have that luxury just yet (well I have the room but not the facility). I was thinking more of a sleeping bag in the spare room amongst the piles of unpacked boxes...

Brilliant! they have finally realised there is life north of the Watford gap then.

And so they should. It's a selling event, not a performance.

Since there will be many demonstrators there showing people their skills it is also a performance as well as a selling event and there are bargains to be had compared to normal retail prices. As far as I am aware all "shows" charge an entry fee and the fee for this one is very low compared to car, caravan or motor shows.
