Hi Jon.
I eagerly booked a ticket as well.
Sadly I now know I will not be able to make it as booked up all week.
I was really looking forward to going...
Hey ho! Another Year maybe?
( I wonder if I will still get my free ACR News?)

monkey spanners should go to the event and video it for us, maybe with some russian subtitles as his vids normally go viral

Definately going to take some vids but expect they are more likely to go fungal!!!

I'll be videoing me being ignored on most of the stade stands as the shiney arses only like talking to people in suits. Did say i was going to take some spanners and start dismantling things to see how they work as they don't want to explain them last time i went!

Will try and borrow you a set of propper gauges from testo! LOL

Just remember most of these people in suits are just bull****ting to each other and smile to yourself!

Got to say I was dissappointed in the show......

A few years ago it would fill 3 Halls.....this year it nearly filled half of Hall 19.

Spent nearly 2 hours there but could have done it all in 1 ....... don't think I'll bother next time.

There were a few interesting things, ali tube on the FSW stand, and the Lawton tubes stand. The Apion vac pump looked a good piece of kit with its external oil resevoir. New Testo 4 valve gauges looked good with data logger and third pressure/temp input.

There wasn't much nuts and boltsy to look at. Nobody on the copeland stand to talk to... Couldn't even find the Climate center stand!

Didn't see anything i wanted gadget wise, which might be as much due to me spending less as it was due to the range of stuff there. Sign of the times i guess...

Glad it wasn't just me thinking I was sure there was more there in years gone by.

I spent less than an hour there.
