ejg223 Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 I haven't been to an UK exhibition in years. The NEC is very convenient to travel to from Ireland and was wandering who from on here is planning to go. Any interesting stands that one must see? We are not sure if we can make it but have standby tickets for the flight and hope to make it. edi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hancock Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 Me. Saturday. Looks to be an interesting line up. At least their cash machines may work at this show !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ds1 Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 Edi, we are exhibiting there as Czech Tactical Pursuits, stand D6 ( rifle section, somewhere near Accuracy International I believe). Please stop by for a coffee and chat. I will also be going to the IWA for a look around - will bring a bottle of Czech special for you - I much appreciated your hospitality last year. Anyone else on the forum (other than internet angries) please stop by for a chat and a brew - might even be some fig biscuits if I haven’t scoffed them all.

ejg223 Posted January 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 Great, looking forward to seeing you. Hope we can make it as we want to squeeze in a trip to the US and just waiting for the ATF to come back to us. Also hoping that P, S, & E can make it but the S bit might be flying us over as he thinks he is on duty. Anyway Peter and myself will try get their possibly Friday. edi ps. David, recon my wife hopes the machines are broken... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ds1 Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 From the NEC website: Parking is free and accompanied visitors under 16 go free. For more information visit https://www.shootingshow.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ds1 Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 Drivinfish, please come for a brew, biscuits and chat. We will have some Czech soft beverages at the bss but I will be taking something a bit stronger to the IWA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejg223 Posted January 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 Now that i am flying in parking is for free.... typical. Baldie, I wanted to talk to you and AI anyway. I get two for one... great. Years back we met at a ceramic show in Munich, a NZ supplier shipped 1 pallet of ceramic goods and one pallet of NZ wine/whiskey to the show. Wild times. We hope to take some BBQ Sika steaks, back straps & of course some single malt from the south coast to IWA on our stand this year. edi ps. Maybe Matt can hand out some UKV buttons at the entrance....

pengo Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 Does anyone know which Hall/s the show is in, as sometimes it's quicker to walk from the car park than get the bus...? Cheers. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers. Paul Halls 6-9 Looks like parking has been pre-paid by the organisers, according to this link http://www.thenec.co.uk/whats-on/british-shooting-show/ which is also handy for the people visiting the Arts, Crafts and Needlework exhibition in the other halls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
