My mate has just got hold of a couple of tickets (one with my name on) to go to the trade bike expo this weekend.
God am I going to enjoy this.
I think my camera is going to be doing overtime. I will post some pics when I get back.
Not sure if its Sunday or Monday we're going, either way just gonna love it.
I owe him at least a drink for this

dudeskin and I are going on sunday.looks pretty cool, from what I've seen on the website.not good for the wallet though. I'm meant to be saving up for a new bike this summer and this show isnt going to help things.

any BCF'ers who are going need to make a large sign with their bcf username on it and stick it to their backs. that way we can spot each other and say hello Very Happy

work ID...that seems unlikely, because small businesses wont have ID. and even if they did, no one would be able to tell an official ID from a non official one

no, I'm saying that how can they tell the difference between a fake work ID and a real one, as alot of small businesses dont have ID

I have no work id, but i own my own bike related business (4 menbers of staff) and have done for quite a while and know the main organiser so if they decided to get funny not a problem i close my account, simple.
What i am saying is....................
I have heard that id will be asked for, work related.
Now if people get asked and dont want to play ball fine, but the idea is that it is a "TRADE" expo not a bike show.

im sure that you and the main organiser are great chums but thats not the point. if you dont have ID then you can go chat to your matey.but I cant see them turning others away because they dont have ID and theyr not buddies with the top dogs.
are you going to give us any clue as to where you acquired the information about requiring ID? I've looked on the website and not found anything.

I dont think you'll be able to buy things there but you will prob get some nice freebies and plenty of you scratch my back i scratch yours business cards.
either way, gonna love it

I've got tickets and a car park pass. I even emailed them that I wasn't in the bike trade but would be interested in taking a look around. Didn't seem to bother them at all, they replied that it was no problem, enjoy yourself.

Really. Does arriving in a vehicle emblazoned with the works logo count? Neutral

With all the love in the world a combination of shouting and giving people the finger dosn't come across that well...

This like the cash and carry card my Dad had which we did our Christmas shopping on?
