Lee Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 I was considering the exhibition this year & decided it was to far to travel to Leeds & back in a day so won't be going, now since things are changing at a rate of knots in the past few years in this industry wondered what you lot felt about the exhibition...... gavin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Posted September 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 stupid question.... lol one of our sponsors suggested it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike at Vauxhall Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 Leeds is too far away for me also. I will be popping over to the Birch open day/exhibition in Kingston this month, because it's close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Friend Posted September 6, 2016 Report Share Posted September 6, 2016 I do think (and I have a vested interest) that organisers should look at their calendar and sort dates that do not clash I have ALEX on 1/2 oct for auto locksmiths and auto key cutters/programmers etc BUT The shoe industry has a show same weekend so I lost some of my regular exhibitors and they lost some that had already booked mine - I have been advertising the dates for 2 years Maybe ALEX and cutting edge should combine- I do have an excellent organisation for exhibitions. grahamparker, wellsy9, hibsjo(SCO) and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keithm Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 One question not in the poll would be the timing of the exhibition? Broms Cobb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broms Cobb Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 One question not in the poll would be the timing of the exhibition? Yes open and closing, I have been (some years ago) and everyone packing up before time, so waste of a trip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithm Posted September 8, 2016 Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 Yes open and closing, I have been (some years ago) and everyone packing up before time, so waste of a trip I meant, what time of year. Lol In my experience, Companies would only pack up around 15 minutes before the end, if you turn up that late in the day then you're on a hiding to nothing really and never going to see much anyway!

StevenB Posted September 29, 2016 Report Share Posted September 29, 2016 Notwithstanding the fact that it would be a 350 mile round trip for me, I'm booked in to do the Cambridge to Norwich bike ride on Sunday (and then planning to ride home from Norwich to round it up to the full 100 miles), so I'll be giving it a miss this year. kobblers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Posted September 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 To far for me this year. I'm running a half marathon Sunday morning and my kids are in a dance competition sat and sun so lots of running about too. :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robinh Posted October 3, 2016 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 Excellent show at a really good venue. An added bonus was John K, the charismatic speaker from Greece who gave us all something to think about. Was really rewarding to see that people had travelled from all over the country to be there. I can't name them all but Joe from Castle Douglas and Andy from Halesworth were amongst them. Not forgetting Flash from my home town and Tom D from The North East too. Hope you all enjoyed your day out guys. Fast Fix Elgin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robinh Posted October 3, 2016 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 He said be nice to people, go the extra mile, learn to dance and you will not only succeed but you will be happy for the rest of your life.

hibsjo(SCO) Posted October 3, 2016 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 was a good day out Robin thought the speaker as good as it was wasnt good for business from an exhibitors point of veiw Vibram sole on birch stand......watch this space Royal machinery looked ok bag press was impressive shoe competition nice entries (dont ask me who won tho) had a nice chat with Jennifer from Nora products that stuff looked good(hope someone takes up the distribution ) seems there is a lull in retail from all accounts at the show everything is quiet in the shoe repairers shop at the moment. good to see siserve exhibiting, the independant shoe repairer knows where to go for servicing. Kev at Gravograph always looks busy lol Cherry blossom said they were not busy with the independants but were busy with the supermarkets tells another story! Were still looking for James shoe care van thats been pinched its a high top connect liked the victordebanke body hugging cream sweaters carry on!

SteelCityShoes Posted October 3, 2016 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 Dean Westmoreland won, really nice bloke, extremely passionate. To be honest I can't remember who placed after that though. Funny you should say that about Cherry Blossom, we had to stop selling their products as they were stocking the budget shops like Poundland nearby.
