Lee Posted September 19, 2017 Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 I'm probably going. But won't commit until the day as it very much depends on what bikes come in on Saturday and the collection and delivery status for the Sunday. kobblers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petercoulson Posted September 19, 2017 Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 Perhaps another idea for those coming to Birmingham and staying or looking for a longer day, the Cycle Show is also taking place this weekend at the NEC - http://www.cycleshow.co.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simes Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 to be fair if Lee was still in charge it probably would be on here as he would be pushing it but alas he isnt in saying that i dont see the mla show at telford being pushed by site admin either just a thought carry on! What I don't understand is that we go to these shows and register with all our details and yet rarely do i get an email, text or postal notice of when they are happening. When I do it's usually too short notice or too far away. Not talking just about Cutting Edge but include locksmith/Auto Locksmith shows too. gavin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really, i get loads about Micks show and the MLA shows and i also get a lot or reminders from exhibitors as well such as SKS, Aldridges, 3D and so on about all the keys and locksmith related shows. Don't get any about the shoe repair shows but i am not really interested in them to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkD Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 Got a free sausage and bacon bun at Lockexpo. Me too and it was the most disgusting thing I've had the misfortune to bite into and I've eaten at Little Chef. kobblers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Friend Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 certainly WAS NOT LOCKEXPO we do not do enhancements just a great show - it was a spoof show that tried to emulate us by bribing everyone seems to have failed though kobblers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamparker Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 To be fair Mick it was one of the best laid out shows i have ever attended and it was a shame there where so few visitors, but as a visitor it was great not having to wait to speak to someone. Spent a good hour catching up with all the staff on the Abus stand which is unheard of usually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkD Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 Ahh yes, I quoted without reading properly or engaging brain. I make a full retraction and apologise for any pain and suffering caused to those associated with LockExpo who's food has always been top notch kobblers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 Great show. As always something new to set the home drive brain storming session in motion. Thanks to all who organised. Lee keithm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom D Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 a nice venue ive got 7 tickets on the bsa gold star raffle did think the turnout was poor , but in fairness ive met some old friends and made some new ones today I enjoyed it mind the beer in Solihull was piss poor even though I was still a little bit under the weather this morning , will they do one next year ? would like to know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alxfer Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 Well presented show albeit a bit quiet on the visitor side. Got 2 teas in disposable cups in the hall 5 quid, but I noticed the refreshment stand was run by the museum. Went for some lunch upstairs and a cuppa in a real cup there was only £1.60. kobblers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kobblers Posted September 25, 2017 Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 Bugger - we paid £2.50. We didn't know there was an upstairs cafe. I did get a free cuppa from Peter Coulson, however Rick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
