Go and see Jim at Carroll's Wood craft for the toys and Mal & Greg at Boutique Timbers for the stuff to turn.
Don't mention my name as both will charge you doublePat

I'll agree with Pat on the Boutique Timber and Greg & Mal, but Trend Timbers would be my choice for tools n chucks etc also McJings. You can mention Pat's name anywhere it'll still cost you double.

I have found it good as it usually has lots of suppliers under the one roof! Carrolls, trend and mcjings get the thumbs up! Also hardware for creative finishes carbitool. Really all the suppliers need a mention its a big job for 3 days of selling considering how some come! One year gasweld had very cheap p&n turning !
I normally have my list and do a lap then get down to the shopping list! Then look at the want list!
I can't go this year! Hope it's on next year!

Tight spaces
Agree with Faulko, lack of info re exhibitors and set out on the web. Attended show on Fri in new location which seemed to be too overcrowded and difficult to move around (appears dome and halls were used by Wine and Food group ), excellent range of exhibitors although many not there. Trust organisers can arrange greater space for exhibitors and attendees for next year.

Yep, went yesterday. Was great to see everything under one roof in the flesh that normally takes time on web to see.....got some goodies - some planned and some not.
Enjoyed a demo by theo.
Apart from Trend not many blanks...reinforced the value of efforts to source own supply from salvage.
Trend and Carrolls staff very helpful.
and free cuppa at stall saved me- thanks
