Yes, I must admit, what you were describing sounds much nicer. But anyway, I will be exhibiting. :) So I do hope lots of people attend...

Good luck, PM me with what you are exhibiting? I keep thinking about getting a stand there to exhibit my products and share the costs with another company I do manufacturing work for now and again but we just haven't got round to it yet!
Wish I had now as I wanted to collar that Debra Meaden and ask her a question!
Never mind, always next year, Oz

lol, no giving it a rest this year been going on and off since 1987 when it was at Sandown Park at Esher. As I said it's too blingy and glamorous for me now.

As I was at the time (early '80s?) in a similar business to you, when I went to the opening BETA fair in Cambridge and it's where I first met Gerry and Richard Brown, and they'd just set up Abbey Saddlery having left the sinking Craftwares. Excellent people and over the next 20 years, I used them exclusively. How Abbey Saddlery have grown, and they now own Cotterells, so I'm told!

Yes, I talk to Richard on a regular occasion. It must have been 1982 as that's when Abbey started up I believe. I always remember Mrs Brown telling me at Beta at Sandown around 1988, "keep nibbling away at the cheese" I did and my own business has expanded beyond recognition!
