Re: Anyone going to
I might have gone had they allowed free admission. In my opinion it is just wrong to charge potential customers to look in a shop window!!

Re: Anyone going to
London? Nah!
As I get older I think a lot about the hereafter - I go into a room and then wonder what I'm here after.

Re: Anyone going to
I have a lot of resistance to things like this... Still, I suppose this is the current thing to do

Indeed, but I should think it has great potential if that makes any difference? It may help overcome your resistance!CitroJim wrote: 02 Apr 2025, 05:59 I have a lot of resistance to things like this... Still, I suppose this is the current thing to do![]()

I can't remember ever getting into the Earls Court or Birmingham NEC motor shows for free Mick.mickthemaverick wrote: 01 Apr 2025, 18:05 I might have gone had they allowed free admission. In my opinion it is just wrong to charge potential customers to look in a shop window!!![]()

Re: Anyone going to
I used to go as an invitee of somebody or other who had a stand and thus got in FOC. I honestly can't remember ever paying to get into a trade show of any sort. However it does seem to be becoming the norm these days so I simply won't go as a casual observer. If I was actively in a given market for a product on show I might pay then, as it would be for my direct benefit, but not as a curious spectator!!Gibbo2286 wrote: 02 Apr 2025, 10:50 I can't remember ever getting into the Earls Court or Birmingham NEC motor shows for free Mick.![]()

Treat it as a day out at the fair Mick, test drive all the cars and fill your bags with free samples.

Re: Anyone going to
The trouble is Gibbo you don't have to pay to go the fair!! I am going to visit Farnborough again this month and have the Open University Open Day at the end of the month so I'll give the FCS a miss. I am also going to Drivetribe Live in August with Richard Hammond and I daresay there will be many freebies around !!
