I was happy that the entry fee reflected the quality of the show, it is the first time that I have been on a public day for about thirty years and the size of the crowd surprized me.

The trade show was almost dead and this for me was not a surprize but I did get to talk to one or two people and if one of these new trade contacts delivers the service that he speaks of then I will recover my four times my entry fee in in one transaction.

It was unfortnate that this year I could not get to the trade days due to other business comitments so on reflection it was a good day out but a little short on the business front and Mrs A and C had a good time watching the flying (and trying to buy a Cirrus!).

The only down side that I could see was the traffic getting in and out, I simlpy can,t do traffic jam's but would like to thank the Police for being very helpfull to those of us on motorbikes to make the transit of the car gridlock even faster.
