Ok chaps. Bad news. This years show has been cancelled.  in light of current events surrounding a certain strain of Flu not totaly unexpected.

I was tipped off by Geoff B who saw it on Facebook. And a quick check of the host clubs web page confirmed it.

experience has taught me to expect the worst.

Sad but wise methinks.

An early decision better than one much nearer the date.

I think I'd assume for planning purposes that most shows are going to be off this year. Keep checking their websites and if it's on and you want to go, it's a bonus.

That's certainly my thinking for the next six months anyway.
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

the things you learn, give your mind the wings to fly, and the chains to hold yourself steady
take off and nuke the site form orbit, nope, time for the real thing, CAM and gridfire, call special circumstances.

just to be able to build something

my mojo isn't that great.

May I make a suggestion to those who were going to attend this show, or any other show that gets cancelled, that they spend what they were going to spend online with the retailers that would have attended the show so they get the revenue that they need to exists and you still get the items you want.

You'll have to eat all those mini-rolls you usually bring to the show for a start.  ;D ;)
