Well I think that was the smallest exhibition hall they've ever used and a shrinking number of stands sadly the most useful ones such as taxi Shack ,Activ 8 are the ones that have fallen by the wayside but it was busy so obviously the location suited people.

Not such a good haul this year the final tally was 19 pens, 8 Air fresheners, 3 key rings 2 travel mugs and a few pads etc.

But there were a couple of interesting new stands including one which looks promising for a cheaper alternative to worldpay for credit cards and one of my drivers has found his dream car IF he can get the finance !!

worth going even if I couldn't buy some of the stuff I was after

I think with the internet the actual cost of going to the exhibition, from a supplier's position, is sometimes hard to justify.

But the saving grace, in my view, is the talking shops and Q&As from the right people. If they get that right then the future of the show is rosy.

Activ 8 are doing very well online so them having a space at the show trying to get money out of some tight arse Taxi drivers who, don't service their cars and put cheap oil in isn't beneficial to them.
