I turned this on yesterday but realised it wasn't in a particulary visible location, so it is now sat pride of place right at the top left on the front page
I will enable the webcam on the presentation laptop and so you will get an idea of the hussle and bustle of the show.
Yesterday was absolutely manic, after a rocky start where one of the marshalls for Warners came over and told me in no uncertain terms literally "you can't park here mate" as he pointed to the MHF marquee which was about 5 inches over the white chalk line drawn on the floor.
I then indicated to him the diagonal roof strut which prevented me pushing the marquee back any further, he ummmed and ahhhed and walked off, 20 mins later another marshall turned up saying the similar and then added well take the top of the marquee off !!! I showed her the roof strut and that it was actually pushed against the back of the MAIN support for the marquee and so the only way around it would be to dismantle the entire marquee, she again looked at her clipboard and then eventually said "well we will be monitoring you", i laughed at this and said ok I will make sure i don't move
The day after that was just a haze of people asking questions, handing out MHF carrier bags adorned with our logo and containing assorted leaflets and info about MHF and ODB (I handed out 2,000 bags in 3 hours !!!) Thanks go to teensvan, LadyJ and Artona who all lent a hand on the stand, also met quite a few MHFers who visited us.
Lots of interest in mhf and still quite a few people out there who had never heard of us but promised to join on their return home so achieving the aim of the show which was to earn enough money back from ODB Sales to pay for the pitch etc whilst at the same time raise our profile out there.
Weather is nice atm so lets hope it stays like this and we get another bumper day today
I am leaving for the show now and will enable webcam once its all setup
Any MHFers who are visiting today feel free to come and have a chat.
Ah yes, the cow sheds! We had our stand in there for many years and it was always busier than we could cope with. Warners staff can be a pain but the biggest crime in their eyes is using more space than you've paid for. A couple of years ago they made a new exhibitor take his marquee down because he was 6 inches too far into the passageway. Of course, loads of other stands had goods stacked there but it didn't make any difference.
Actually an even worse crime is starting to dismantle before the show finishes. That merits exclusion from Warners shows!
Beginning to wonder why I ever attended. Even more oddly I'm missing it!
