THE MORE TRADERS YOU HAVE, THE BETTER THE SHOW IS (it seems) !!!!
look after your bread and butter
cheers nomad
Erm? so would you like to come?
I understand that as this is a new show, people are going to be wary, hence the fact we are offering Free spaces (This Year)... I've already stated that I cant promise a massive turnout. But as I also stated we are very keen to make this show work, both myself and the event owners, so the people that support us from the offset WILL be rememberd when we become bigger!!
Dont think we will? look at TRAX... It started life as the XROC National Day!! Think about it!!
