Indeed, and I'm not sure what the reason behind it is.  Hopefully the club have cut the numbers due to the year off and the rearranged one-day format, keeping the trader levels lower in case the visitor numbers drop substantially.  There may also be some natural casualties, either companies who are not around anymore, have stopped doing as many shows, or found themselves a replacement show in 2014.  I'd suspect the latter would include Dave Thomas as he does a lot of the continental shows, so he might have found a weekend away in Europe somewhere that brings in comparitive sales in a sunnier climate...!

If shows were more conveniently located, they'd be able to draw in more customers. Why, in Bangkok alone there must be over twenty of us by now!

Tinned milk around my neck should make me stand out :D ;).

Good show, I'm coming down for a few days, staying at the Newbury Hilton, I'll see you on the Saturday if not the Friday evening.
Don't buy your daughters a pony, buy them heroin instead, its cheaper and ultimately less addictive.

We can't afford drinks in the Hilton, we'll be slumming it in the Travelodge in the city centre...

Well I'll be down early Saturday with Dave Fielder and Mike Embree, both of whom will be helping on Bruce's table. Look forward to seeing all who can make it on the day. Please say hello if you have the time.
