New Venue - Been reading through the comments and all I want to say is give it a chance, lets wait until there has been at least 1 show there before making judgement.
I exhibited and was a visitor to the shows at the Design Centre and the National Hotel, on exhibiting at the Design Centre, it was expensive and the costs of parking made it quite expensive, visiting was OK, there has been a decline in exhibitor numbers and the last show was very poor, which is shown in my expenditure, about half as much, £250, as the previous few shows, as there was little of interest to buy. While at the National Hotel, it was always too crammed together and spilt halls, I think we look at the National Hotel shows through rose tinted glasses.
The new venue is really no further for me from Paddington, I know that may not be the same for others, but can only speak for myself, so let's give it a chance.
