I'm at the garden show too. What do you sell Fi996 so I can look out for you?

Don't want to alarm you but I did Hillsborough last year and I'm not doing it this year as the cost is too much for what it is. They are charging Balmoral prices and theres no way crowds are like Balmoral. I just did okay at it but there again weather was appalling. At Balmoral they give a reduction in price after a centain time but Hillsborough didn't and I think entrance fee was too high for what was there.

Yes Belle you should take your machine with you as some companies take orders and money and then customer calls back. You would need help though. Have samples with you or pictures. Also need to be careful how much electricity do you need to run machine as that is an additional cost.

Not sure but I'll let you know what last years prices were later this evening. I think for basis e.g 500w it was around £70.00 + and you need to make sure you order correct wattage.
