Hi everyone I just had to post up a few comments about the 22nd Exhibtion.
This was the 15th Exhibition I have had the "pleasure" to organise. and despite the few teething problems with the new venue it really was a pleasure to put it all together.
I must thank a few folk. First of all the rest of the BTS Commitee who worked like trojans to make sure we pulled it off. In particular Mark and Karen Titterton and their daughter who organised the overflow carpark so well ( at least you got a suntan Mark). Also thanks to Lee Cole who despite being ill the previous couple of days came down and headed the security team. Of course I have to thank my wife and your secretary,Angela for coping with me again before and during the show. She has the patience of a saint. Deano and Su for offering to step in at the last minute as replacements for Lee. The staff of the new venue for their assistance and cooperation, the exhibitors who were honest and open minded about the move and of course we would like to thank ...you. because without the support of the visitors,members or not there wouldnt be an exhibition.
The weekend is always a hectic,tiring one but it gives us the opportunity to meet old friends and make new ones.
I would add a few observations of my own. I thought the new venue was excellent and despite a few teething problems, which will be solved by next year, that the Exhibition was one of the best. The stock on display was of an exceptional quality and the choice of species was as good as I have ever seen (So I am told because as usual I spent most of my day solving visitor problems and dealing with the odd miscreant who though they could sneak in without paying).
The Exhibition will remain at Coseley School.
Finally once again a massive thanks to you guys and gals and see you next year..........preliminary date.......18th May 2008
