START A BOUNCY CASTLE HIRE BUSINESS

29 January 18 - INPAS - 2018

INPAS 2018 Review

So here it is; One mans review and take on the show, the exhibitors and some in-side scoop, littered with photos galore!

Before I jump in though, I have to forewarn; Previous reviews and write-ups have been much lighter, with any criticism hidden and nuanced so that only the more keener reader could read between the lines. This one still holds back in places, but will be a little more frank! You can hold the pop-corn and Michael Jackson memes.

Firstly, the venue. It was an amazing building, and the digital signage really made it look very corporate and a real exhibition vibe. The hall itself felt a little bit more like a warehouse, considering the outside and the walk to it, I was kind of expecting carpet. However, it did have a well stocked and nice enough place to eat inside the exhibition hall (even for a vegan!) and if you didn’t fancy that they had a Marco Pier White’s next door. Parking was fine, although a little expensive. The smarter people parked with the exhibitors and got it for free, but that was done on a wink and a chance.

I really liked the entrance to the show. You walked in and was hit with immediately with a lovely big Paw Patrol inflatable and Airquee sign. However, half of it was also taken up by “Grand Affairs” and a novelty van with lights. Pretty cool and elevated the feeling of the show immediately, like a car in a shopping centre; You just don’t expect to see it. I suppose running INPAS must have it’s perks!

The hall itself was large. Probably larger than any single hall at any other UK inflatable exhibition, although perhaps not as big in total floor space.

This was an exciting show to attend. For the first time in years we had the chance to see Chinese manufacturers exhibit directly at the show. We’ve come to expect innovation, show deals and new stuff, but I was eagerly anticipating seeing the Chinese exhibits directly, rather than UK manufacturers reselling them or importing them.

Sadly, I wasn’t overly impressed them. I had a good look and even a cursory glance revealed that every single one of the inflatables wasn’t compliant. If I had reservations and was worried about importing myself for a single or just a few units, I certainly wasn’t convinced to take that risk based on what I saw.

I told you it would be a little harder hitting…

Just a quick look revealed anchor points on the front step itself (and not even on the side of the steps but literally on the front). The material used in places wasn’t appropriate, and I certainly didn’t fancy blowing myself (or my customers) up with all the Chinese electric lights, converters, adapters, speakers and wires that they seemed to want to put in everything, and that applied to both AOQI as well as Wu Long. I felt like Wu Long did a better job (which surprised me, I’ve heard good things about AOQI), but neither filled me with confidence.

Even if you could look past the obvious, the language barrier wasn’t entirely inspiring me and filling me with confidence. I honestly feel like they could do so much better if they had a person over here that knew the industry well and was a registered competent inspector; Although their exposure could be great!

A front man that people could put a face to and someone that could give them the understanding that they need. The sewing, printing and attention to detail, the time put into each inflatable was fantastic. Pointless though if it’s not compliant or made with the wrong materials.

Whether or not having them own a larger market share of the industry by doing that is a good thing or not is another thing entirely. For now though, I would only use a manufacturer that imports them; Providing me piece of mind. I think the whole import market is based on this fear (a substantiated fear and concern it seems), but at some point they are going to realize they can break the UK market if they want to, it’s just whether they see it as being worth it or not.

More and more I think the game is going to be about who can import the most and take the biggest punt and live with the lowest margins when it comes to the Chinese manufactured items.

Smart-Shapes

My pick of the show is a very easy one this year; Smart-Shapes. It seems that every show the company produces something different, something to stand-out. Either a new inflatable or some cool innovation. This felt like a different gear entirely though.

The colors where super bright. I prefer the style being used, it’s not water-colour looking. It almost looks wet to touch!

I couldn’t spot external seams other than a very out of the way one on a wall at the rear (which was apparently an over-sight anyway). The arch on the slide had internal ties to make it work. Plus the artwork all lined up to give a perfect flow. I was so blown away I purchased one on the spot.

The artwork designs are all very nice and appealing, plus it was cool to see the same design across whole sets; Castle, Soft Play, Ball pool, slide etc…

I have a feeling that this “arch” is going to be a bit of a signature thing for Smart-Shapes. It’s very eye-catching and I can see it attracting customers! It’s not a new concept, others have it, but somehow this just looks better, especially with the flowing artwork and especially suits the rainbow!

I was pleased that I could go see them in person. I wasn’t worried about the arch on the junior slide due to the size of it, the width of the arch and the fact that it’s practically un-bendable!

I will openly admit that I had concerns about the arch on the v-front style inflatables castles.

We well know that kids pull those bars down on h-frames. With it being an arch, I was worried that it might be an even bigger issue and cause stress on seams. Plus, the little “dip” at the start of the arch either end almost invites children to climb up and sit on it.

My concerns where put to rest when seeing this up-close. The arch actually means that if they pull it down, all they’re really doing is making the connecting pieces at either end level, they’re not pulling the parts that are connected down at all.

The dipped parts where children could sit are not easily accessible, but even if they’re physically helped up and placed there there isn’t much they’re going to do to damage the equipment; They’re sewn in very well as high stress points and they’re not floppy at all. I’ve included a bunch of photos below. I wouldn’t have any worries about them damaging the equipment after seeing it and checking it out.

There was something that almost resembled a foosball (sort of). You blew the ball using what was essentially an air-juggler to the opposite players side.

Cool concept well thought through by having the blower on the side of the inflatable, so there’s no blower tube to trip over and you can walk all the way round it without tripping over.

If I had to make a criticism then I would suggest having at least one of the sides netted so that the blower didn’t over-heat and had better air-flow. Maybe a little “netted window” either side to balance weight and still ensure it had the structural integrity to hold the changeable game’s weight!

There was also a football thing. I have zero interest in football, so this didn’t really interest me personally, but it was another clear example of pushing the envelope and making ideas a reality. It was interesting seeing an Asian gentlemen inspecting the inflatables!

There was a large gap at the show from an exhibition regular. I won’t skirt around the issue; TripleA was missing. They’re a power-house and a proven company that you can rely on. They always bring lots to the shows and I would try to get them there next time. They was missed. They’re able to change the market domestically and have an impact. Such a big “player” belongs at these shows.

IWL

Inflatable World of Leisure had more floor space and more inflatables present than in recent exhibitions. They focused on bespoke designs, beautiful hand-painted artwork with such detail that some of it belonged hanging on a wall.

I’d be very interested to see how the gold held out. It’s notoriously hard to get that right, with it often falling off easily. Knowing IWL it’ll be fine, though.

They was selling noise reducing blower covers. They wasn’t expensive and they was the most effective I have seen or heard. I have some experience with noise reducers, so to see them so effective and yet so inexpensive was nice. Plus, they’re not as bulky as the plastic ones and could easily fit through a doorway.

The front slide combo was really nice looking, and the curves and bends of the train roof was something that you would need to be expert in to replicate. It’s things like this that set them apart. Most would have a single curve at best (most likely a flat roof), but you couldn’t even draw it as good, let alone make it.

Inflatable Safety Testing

The infamous Neil Gossage was representing Inflatable Safety Testing and selling some really cool items. I think that a lot of it would be a little too over-whelming for a first timer, but incredibly you could buy fan probes, pressure testing kits, anemometers, peg pullers, pegs, compliant d-ring replacements and a lot more too! It was a bit of a bouncy castle geek treasure chest to be honest!

You could also sign up to the RPII Operator Attendant courses (recommended) and hidden away there was the very best value soft play at the show. Why on earth it didn’t have pride of place I am not sure, but you could pick up a full 16 piece soft play set, digitally printed for only £350 including the bag!

There was also some applique soft play and hand painted soft-play. It was a hidden gem really!

You may want to contact him to see if you can still grab a bargain. Hardly any of the themes were on display, and anyone with any money left over should definitely take a look!

Pineapple Leisure

Not as much floor space as their last exhibit in the country, they made better use of the space they had and crammed stuff in. It was cool seeing the stuff with webbed beds, although without seeing how it’s done it’s hard to really know if it’s just for show and useless, or whether it’s actually practical and effective.

The rain cover material looked better than I had seen them use before. I can’t imagine that these new ones would have any issues of the dye coming off and staining the PVC when wet. It also looked more shower resistant than a lot of material some manufacturers often use.

The mini-dome ball pool thing looked pretty neat. A simplified version of a similar one on the market, designed for ease of manufacturing and quicker turn-around on production. No less novel or cool looking to end users, although a manufacturer might notice that it’s not the same as ones seen on the market previously.

Wasn’t a massive fan of the rear turret bending on one of the a-frames and thought the stress caused on the h-frame rear turrets pinching in at the top was a little off. However, all things considered when weighed against the price it seemed like some great compliant equipment with plenty of anchor points, suitable step length and a nicer material used than I have seen before!

Airquee

I was expecting Minion-fest and predicted an Airquee Minion show. I was wrong. They had two units themed with Minions (plus soft-play) and I was expecting much more. They didn’t have any in October last year and had just won the license. With no minion castle pictures flooding facebook or popping up on people’s sites, I had expected them to be holding them all to really hit INPAS with it hard!

There was more paw patrol then Minions; Maybe that’s an indication of where they see popularity still or maybe they just couldn’t get enough made in time in different designs to show it off.

If I’m honest, I’m not sure what the Orange colour is doing in there and feel that maybe it might have been a bigger hit with some larger images used all over the inflatable, instead of smaller pictures dotted on it. However, if a customer wants Minions, they’ll take what’s available as long as it has Minions on it. They’ve done such a good job at making the Paw Patrol a whole canvas over the inflatables, this just feels like someone else entirely has designed it.

In fact, that may well be true considering they’re different licenses?

I loved the Unicorn inflatable, that was really cool and looked like a lot of attention to detail had gone into it’s design and artwork. It could have gone horribly wrong with a weird looking donkey faced nightmarish thing. It’s hard to get the shape right of a unicorn for an inflatable, but they did it really well. I also loved the massive inflatable they had on show in the corner, with built in slide and ball pool. Looked impressive.

I was worried that the activity inflatable for toddlers where there’s built in steps with a crawl space before you get to the slide and ball pool under-neath was a death trap. I saw one before but never got to investigate it up-close.

My main concern was that in the event of a fan failure (or more realistically a kid turning it off) that the crawl space would drop on the ball pool area (which is a little cove directly under the crawl space).

I should have had more faith in Airquee. It has lots of breathable material and escape Velcro pull of sheets. There’s no danger here at all and my fears where really put to rest forever on it. It’s an incredible design and especially suits the Paw Patrol theme consider the ages it’s designed for.

Midland Leisure Supplies

I totally forgot these guys names last show and put them down as “randoms”. That was a bit naughty of me considering how nice they are, how friendly and how affordable their games are! They have some really cool games that do not sit in the large-scale fair ground level, but do not sit in the cheapo home-made blue-peter job that the PTA does for the school fair. They offer a really nice polished set of games that do not look cheap and tacky, but give a great polished look. Really worth considering for a broad spectrum of reasons!

Bouncy Castle Leasing

This was another new exhibitor this year and offering something new; Leasing!

As a hirer myself I worry about this sort of thing. I can see people new to the market thinking it’s a brilliant way for a rapid up-start and being a brilliant thing, and people who are established worrying about the exact same thing and thinking it’s a terrible idea that affects their business!

It’s not quite that though. I doubt they’d turn away a big hire company, but that for sure isn’t their audience. Their market isn’t the newbies though, either.

This make sense… Why would they want to get a total newbie to lease their equipment for a contracted period, who has massive risk of not being successful and getting the items hired out? Sure they can chase them for payments, but it’s hassle. Who wants risky customers?

They’re aiming at people who have made it two years in already. People who are less likely to cause them a headache in chasing. Someone who has grown, but want to make a bit of a push, or someone who’s doing well, but they cannot for the 4th year re-invest all their money again; They need to buy a new car, mortgage on a house, getting married, finally take that holiday or some other big event.

When you look at the terms and cost, you can see that you need to be getting that inflatable out as much as you can. This in itself shows that you need to be a couple of years in already as a minimum before you consider this option.

There are some cool options at the end of the term too, whether you decide to change it for a new one, buy it, or just send it back.

The tag line is “Why buy, when you can lease?”. If you’re sure that you will be getting the inflatable out, it’s not a bad deal (plus there’s loyalty options too). You’ve got to be pretty darn sure though.

Bulldog Inflatables

It’s hard to work out who is actually in-charge here. Is it Diddy Mike Kerr, Paul Sealey or Graham Ding?

Whoever it is, I really like the air-brushed artwork on the pirate ship. That particular unit has had an enormous amount of work go into it, and it looks fantastic. It reminds me of a DMK design.

Equally, the Toxic slide looks great! A real bargain, eye-catching and something that easily competes with slides of a similar size and style. I saw some children use it and gradient of the slide meant they went down with a real rush.

The nerf wall was double sided. It was cool to see one side for boys and one side for girls, without it being too discriminatory of either gender (did I just assume gender? Whoops). That was a great idea that is very practical. I would choose this over another manufacturer based on this, it can be in the middle of the hall or just use it single sided against a wall.

The A-frame however wasn’t what I expected. I’ve included a lot of photos of it. You can see the top of the A-frame at the rear looks all over the place. The bed doesn’t sit quite right and compared to the pirate ship and Toxic slide, it looks like someone else entirely has made it. It’s all pinched and stressed.

AOQI

I prefaced the review with the direct Chinese exhibits as I believe it’s a large industry point, but on AOQI specifically I feel that the level of detail is fantastic. You can speculate on how they’re able to put in the amount of man hours it must take for each inflatable, but the results are stunning.

I couldn’t spot a complaint inflatable though. They all had something wrong with them for the UK, and that’s without the worry of what material has been used or what thread.

Most of them also had two blowers, too. Either those inflatables are under way too much pressure or the material on some of the more fancy parts outside of the bouncing area leak too much air.

I don’t want two blowers in a garden/hall inflatable though.

Trouble is, they look absolutely wicked. If you asked a child to choose which one they wanted, it would be these.

Wu Long

Language was an issue, but you could get the jist of most of it. The Huge plant inflatable would look brilliant in a large play centre. For the size of it, it didn’t really have too much in it, just a couple of slides that wasn’t that big really. However, it looked amazing and if you say you didn’t notice it, then I would suspect you’re not telling the whole truth.

I would not like to hire this outside. It was full of electrics that did not in any way look like you would want to get them wet. However, as a static fixture it would be pretty cool.

Some people offered their opinion on whether a competent person would inspect this and confirm that it complies. There was split thoughts on this, but any work that might be needed would be fairly insignificant when you consider that you could walk away with this on the day for just £1500.

I have no idea how that’s possible or what that means (if anything) for the UK market, but I know that a UK manufacturer would struggle to make it for that price.

I suspect that imported inflatables will just keep becoming more and more mainstream.

I was not impressed with the size of the opening though. Short of getting a tape measure out I could not give you precise details, but you can see a sense of the size based on my hand in the photos below. I was a little claustrophobic.

AndyJ

Very pleased to see Andy exhibit at another show. It would have been rude not to so close to home! However, I hope it’s a sign that AndyJ will be exhibiting all the time.

The blowers are brilliant and I was genuinely disappointed when I couldn’t grab one of the new heater fans. I really want those to be as good as the deflate fans are and I am really keen to get my hands on one as soon as they are available (Andy, if you’re reading this then please feel free to send me a prototype one for review purposes! I can’t promise it’ll be a good review, but I can promise whether good or bad that it’ll be heard!).

The deflate fans was in full on demo mode again, and I managed to take a video of this. It’s hard to show in a video just how good it is, because you’re looking down at the inflatable, so I tried getting lower. It’s still not brilliant footage, but it honestly really gets it deflated better and quicker than anything else, plus it rolls up smaller because of it.

They’re ip44 rated (or better), probes can’t penetrate it and the on/off switch doesn’t matter (someone suggested this was an issue for passing, it isn’t!).

The light/speaker placement on the disco inflatables is not great. I’m not even going to try and skirt around that. It needs to change, like stat! It looks terrible and I would be really worried about a new game being invented called “Disco Light Pinata”.

There wasn’t much difference between what was imported inflatables and what was manufactured domestically. It wasn’t clearly marked or labeled (that I could see) between the two, but there were some differences; For example the type and style of webbing. That’s a complement by the way, I happen to think that the Chinese are hard to compete with on their work.

Very nice print and all round good value.

Bouncy Castle Network

No longer just a website host. These guys are a partner. They demonstrated their in-house and on-site embroidery equipment. They don’t just host your site, they support the industry and they support their customers. They provide cost price services and equipment that help make you a successful business. Talk about value add! It’s like going to Mercedes to buy a car and they offer you cost price insurance and driving lessons.

I’ve seen this type of partnering strategy in big enterprise companies, but never at such a scale as BCN do it as a small business, and certainly no one else in the industry is doing it.

They demonstrated their brand new facebook integration which looked brilliant first hand. For a one-off fee (or free for premium members) this is a total no-brainer.

They also showed off more features and I got to look at some exciting behind the scenes development that will further support the industry as a whole!

They had an even bigger presence than ever before, both in terms of floor space, but also with staff, too. It’s reassuring to see so many people at BCN. No other provider has the amount of support staff and specialism that they do, and certainly not domestically, either!

However, on a personal note, my show highlight was meeting Hassan, the son of Aftab and brother to Haseena. An extremely friendly young man who gives me a great deal of hope. I wish him and his family nothing but love and good health.

While that may seem a little out of context, my point here is that while they are clearly the safe hands and the company to trust, they are also a family business at heart. Two brothers, husband and wife, father and children. They are just the same as we all are; A family run business.

It’s easy to sometimes think of them as the big corporate guys, but they’re not. They’re a wonderful big hearted family with an amazing work (and life) ethic.

Celebration Planner

A small stall that I could easily band with “randoms” or “other”. I wish these guys no personal misfortune, but they are self-admittedly an aspiring “Just-eat” of bouncy castles. My disdain for these types of models borders on contempt. The more power you give these companies, the stronger their grip around your neck.

The basic principal is like “bark” or “add to event”, where they get the customers coming to their site for requirements and you can then potentially get the work.

To give these guys a break and be fair, I will say that their platform is the best I have seen out of those types of services.

They have a basic booking system, you do not pay to engage with customers (I.e pay for leads or pay for quotes that you may not get), so in theory you can leverage this platform without it costing you anything to compete for the work until you’ve got it, then they take a cut of the quote.

They’re working hard to make sure it’s the best platform and desirable for both customers and businesses to use. Not paying for quotes is good. Potentially if everyone added 10% to their quotes and didn’t care whether they got the job or not, then it wouldn’t affect market prices at least. However, that’s a naive hope. Most make you pay to quote, so you low-ball hoping that you’ve not wasted money bidding for work and don’t get it. It really lowers market prices. In that regard, I respect how they’re implementing it.

They’re doing a good job of making the system the best it can be, and it has many positives over others (including a business tool back end for tax etc). If I didn’t fear the inevitable end goal for these types of systems I would be singing their praises for how they’ve switched up the model. It sounds like a back-handed compliment, but they’re the best of a bad bunch. However, I can’t bring myself to say I like it.

If it’s not them, I do fear this type of thing will be inevitable at some point. Resisting using them as a collective is quite important.

All Shapes

It was very nice to see Dawn and Darron “back”. When you exhibit you’re making a statement and it was very nice to see them. It was also good to see them realizing their own works value and comfortably taking orders at what is still great value, but a sustainable and good price for everyone.

I’m fairly certain they did not invent unicorns, but I am also pretty sure that they “did it” first. I expected the show to be filled with Unicorns and it didn’t disappoint, but I think it’s credit to them for having their finger on the button. You can count on them to be investing in the latest trend before you even realize it.

The print looked very good. There was no signs of any issues with it (don’t tell them but I tried to damage it, but I gave it a good go and I couldn’t). I really like how their soft play stacks very well and how it all looks so neat.

With a 3 month lead time, they must be doing something right! Good for them!

Jump Bounce

Andy’s stuff (dammit there are too many Andy’s in the industry) is always very consistent. It’s always very nicely painted with a lot of detail. There is always a nice structure (this time a cool looking boat), and it’s always very neat and made tidily. He puts on a good exhibit and this time I was pleased to see them have a trending item; The unicorn surround with unicorn rockers.

He has a good mind for soft play games. It’s not all blocks. You’ve got stack-able pyramids and fast food, cool games to play and there’s a lot of thought put into it all.

If I’m honest though, I want to see some digital print. Hand painted is beautiful, but it’s not the entire market. I think Jump-Bounce could make a big splash if they made the digital jump; It’s not going away or a fad. It’s here to stay and has been for a while!

PIPA

Inside information right here! I have to be clear in how I explain this, as all too often mistakes are made when describing or talking about inspections.

PIPA want to be able to tag all commercial inflatables such as ball pools and fun-runs etc. I welcome this news as the disparity, confusion and frustration it causes is not insignificant.

However, PIPA are worried that they could be setting the standard for which inflatables are inspected, of which are not covered by BSEN. It seems that the are going to be allowing inspectors to perform an inspection and provide an inspection report based on their own interpretation.

They will then be able to issue a PIPA tag for that inflatable, but it will be a different colour, differentiating between the two different types of inspection.

This kind of throws the tester under the bus a little bit in my opinion, but I am not an inspector and I welcome being able to get a tag on all of my equipment. I think it’s a good thing.

They also confirmed that when this does roll out, it will have the same integration with BCN sites that we’re already used to for the Blue tags.

Phew, I think I said that all correctly. If I didn’t, then contact me and I will put it right.

Kool Booking Systems

There seemed to be some interaction between KBS and BCN, which was nice to see. If it was crossed words then I don’t fancy Sam’s chances, but it looked amicable.

There was rumours flying of KBS not being allowed to exhibit. As per usual the Facebook chatter proved to be incorrect.

They had a nice looking stand and it was good to see them demonstrating their tool.

I dislike monopolies, so I view having options and competition as a good thing for customers. It often drives innovation!

KBS recently announced that they was selling other parts of their business, so focusing on their now main core product should hopefully create some interesting features and plans!

Better-Bounce

Fully embracing the Unicorn theme, these guys went full throttle on the sickly sweet theme that is sweeping our industry. A very nice design and a something I expect will do well for all operators!

Better-Bounce normally bring some innovative new designs and I was really pleased to see the modular assault course. It seemingly could go on forever, was light weight per module and they was actively looking for inspiration and ideas to make this the best it possibly could be. That’s pretty sweet!

What really stood out here was the high quality, low-cost show price BB Online range. I have never seen before the quality being offered at this price point, in particular the 70 foot assault course and the fun-runs. The front slide combo’s where also great value, but the fun-runs cannot possibly be over-looked. To not mention it would be weird.

I really gave this online range a hard going over and could not find fault. It’s webbed everywhere. No really, everywhere. The print is different to the domestic range, but it’s more like you would find on the old Air Inflatables units. In fact, I would not be surprised if they’re coming out of the same factory they used to. You can see a similar style on the anchor points, the style of printing and even the sewing. There are differences in the design, but you can almost see the same signature on the painting… The major difference in the product itself is the weight, these are coming out at only 90kg.

There’s not a external seam seen anywhere, a stitch out of place, any lose stitching or any little bits that gape anywhere.

In truth, the awkward question here is: Forget the price for a minute, what’s the better quality out of the online range and the domestic one? Now bring price back into it and I think it’s a no-brainer. I imagine they sold out, I know I couldn’t say no and purchased one myself!

Dr Party Foam Machines

Sorry, but I can’t get excited over a bubble bath. I’m not sure if it was not set up correctly, but it seemed to be a little under-whelming. The guy was lovely and tried his best to make me interested in the patented powder stuff, so I don’t need to takes tonnes of pre-mix, but it just looked a little silly.

The stands looked out of place and gangly with too many electrics to make me feel safe about operating something that pumped up wet stuff and being so close to water, by it’s very nature it’s slippery and the end result was pretty much achievable with a bottle of imperial leather. Am I missing something here? I feel like I must be. Maybe there was a turbo setting that couldn’t be used at the exhibition?

The thing I did like here though is that they shipped the product via Amazon, that’s pretty cool and shows me that I should probably give them a second look.

Galaxy

I didn’t really get the maze thing. You could see over it, it wasn’t too complicated and it looked enormous for four players. I preferred the wipeout and thought it was the best one at the show; the walls where higher and it just looked better with the danger type signs.

The rodeo bull looked simple to operate and had a very classic look to it.

That’s a very short write up for such a big company, but I am not in that market and do not feel very well placed to comment on it too much.

Check out the video here, it combines a bunch of exhibits together!

Summary

In summary, I thoroughly enjoyed the show. I thought it was a good venue. I am bias because it took over eight hours to get home, but I would love to see the next show in the midlands. Not just because it’s easier for me, but because despite anyone telling me any different, the footfall did not seem to be incredible. Interested to see the numbers.. Perhaps as there was more space available it felt more comfortable, but I suspect the gate wasn’t as high as may have been hoped.

I am pleased I got to be there and see the Chinese manufacturers exhibit directly and while I may be concerned about the growing trend of Chinese imports and what it means to the market, I picked up one myself!

We saw some cool new products and I look forward to the next show under the full control and new management! I hope they continue to grow the brand and provide another good day out next year!
