CONVENTION UPDATE
All the rooms in the convention centre have now been booked so we are into the overspill hotel which is much closer than the last time. Deadline of 10th August for bookings in order to finalise the hotel arrangements.
I would just like to remind conventioneers the balance of booking fees must be with me by 10th September as we will have to pay the rest of the costs soon after then.
We still have space for a couple more layouts if anyone would like to exhibit this year.
