It was a visual realisation how busy repairs still are. not up and coming granted. But stable it most definitely is. for me cutting edge damaged the show themselves, with all the attempts to do fund raising and sinking money into and the buying the SoMSR far from being respected they became a bit of a laughing stock. colledges are respected well and so can promote and produce a credible show that people want to attend. cutting edge should have stuck to a magazine and a show imo keithm and kobblers 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom D Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 got to agree with lee about somsr, buy theres a general appethey in this trade , ive always supported the show ( love a night out in a strange town, and theres a great indian in Solihull) . use it or loose it, in fairness phill binns told ne he did more business at a regional show in the north east than at the last cutting edge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithm Posted October 17, 2018 Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 Don't get me started on the 'Trade' show, but regionals are a good idea imho, I would have regionals and mix it with a central show every three years, Just my opinion, then everyone gets a chance to see what all the suppliers have to offer, locally and Nationally. kobblers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's more or less what we will be doing now on, smaller show next year in Edinburgh then the larger one 2020 followed by a different regional one the year after. We just wanted to fall in line to alternate the years without the big locksmith show hence the gap this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
