Okay peeps, here's the thing.
I have been given the opportunity to host a small outdoor show, to exhibit new gear and obviously offer bargains, not far from the NEC either on the Sunday 29th March (same as The Outdoors Show) or the following Sunday the 5th April.
Car parking would be free, entrance probably a few quid.
One hall would be BPL.co.uk and a number of other 'lightweight' retailers and supporting manufacturers. The other hall would be ideal for a MASSIVE table top sale of outdoor kit.
In the open area would be a display of tents and tarps, possibly bushcraft activities and kayaks.
Basically I'm looking at appealing to the lightweight backpacking community, bushcrafters and kayakers, with a number of smaller traders like us, who never get a look in at the NEC.
A compact and bijou event with something to appeal to those I've met on here, inexpensive, and promoted with the support of the community, as it is such short notice.
As you can imagine this requires me to cough up a large amount of cash when I say 'lets do it', and in the current climate I'm seeking feedback from the collective to know if it is of interest, and thus find out if I'm sticking my neck out at the shoulders or my ankles!
Yes you would come or no you wouldn't? And which weekend is best? (Reasons either way would be appreciated)
Many thanks folks .....
