The show is open to anyone on Saturday and Sunday, it will be rammed - its a trade/business/press only show from Tuesday to Friday.
HEXUS has nearly completed its coverage for the year (found as much as we have on any other site yet? ).
You have to be patient if you come at the weekend, and chances are the freebies will be in very short supply come the weekend.
In saying that this is one of the worst shows I have been to for them this year - there is very much a changes of feeling in the show.
In saying that they are still giving away stupidly oversized bags and people still stop in the middle of the aisles to look at the map with no thought of the people like us running from hall to hall all day.
Parm's given out the hall numbers though - although if its new in the consumer side of things, we have already covered it (no really, honestly, if you find something we don't have write it up )
