I have to say I thought the show was good, when you look at the FACTS...
The organisers only had 6 weeks to get it all going.
Hall 1 was a Covid vaccination centre!
Is it really justified to write-off the show in view of the above?
lots of businesses/exhibitors had very little notice to get staff, goods, displays etc in place. Funds may have been tight, and next year may be much better if the traders/exhibitors have the necessary time and funds available. Lots of the clubs had a good turnout, and (for the manufacturers who were there), it appeared to be fruitful from my observation of the queues at stands, and the feedback I heard from their staff.
making a comparison........ have you been to a restaurant recently and found the menu much reduced compared to how it was 2 years ago? i know I have.
Make allowances guys, and be positive - It is our hobby, and it helps if we support it.
