Has anyone had the Early Bird breakfast they're advertising?
My plans changed, and I'm going to be about there at silly o'clock tomorrow morning, and wondered whether I would be best getting mugged at a motorway services for breakfast first, then shafted for an NEC cup of tea at 7, or bend right over and let the NEC take me for the whole thing!!
What a choice you’ve got

Negatives- delayed by M6 by an hour, poor NEC signage, hard to navigate your way round the event logically to walk past everything.
Far outweighed by the positives, the indoor location fits the time of year, very good to have an international showcase, very pleased to see that there were plenty of international visitors.
Plenty of catering.

Can we make sure that everyone get the memo that they don’t need to wear wellies or Grassmen hoodies if over 12 years old?

A few wearing wellies today and the Grassmen clothing stall was doing a roaring trade

More people watching the stall than buying ?

Been to several events this year, and poor signing seems to be a common theme... :-(

Plenty of food... always is... at a price

I'm slightly shocked at some of the moaning.
you've had a FREE day out with FREE parking. And paid maybe a tenner for dinner which incidentally looked pretty decent quality.
And yes the signage was huge with alphabetised maps on every entrance. It wasn't exactly hard to find a specific stand if you tried a bit
