Unless the trade areas are sorted out better I think there will be even fewer stands than this year  {:-{  trying to lug heavy/bulky stock up those narrow stairs & over the bridge is no joke , even the lift's on the small side . . .
No possibility of the ground floor on the island next year ? or even the conference centre ? just a thought . . .

I stand corrected over the trade lifts  :-X , BUT it's on an island , and it aint easy to get stuff from vans up there , I've been to the Ellsmere show off & on since it started & the trade side of it seems much reduced to what it once was . . . may be a sign of the economic climate these days ?
