Exhibition Manager's Diary:
11th October 2011: It hardly seems any time since I started the last diary but you can already see, I hope, that the 2012 show promises to be even better than 2011. Another year on and still the enthusiasm grows and the feeling that the direction is right continues. As always, we listen to feedback and learn to adapt to what a modern exhibition requires to be and the main word that comes to mind is "inspiring". Keep visiting this page to see what is developing and put the dates in your diary for next year. SM
6th January 2012: As I write this, our exhibition venue is being used for its original purpose - an international curling tournament is in full swing. However, it wont be long until the warmth of spring and summer arrives and the ice is removed from "our" hall. So while we enjoy our Ready Brek at this time of year, remember that in the wonderful mid summer some 32 layouts, 35 traders and a host of societies and demonstrators will gather to bring you Scotland's Summer Show. SM
24th January 2012: Just another quick update to let you know that we are still adding ingredients to the recipe that will cook up another super show in 5 months time. We are in the process of refreshing the trade mix at the exhibition - you will note from the above list that there are some visiting Perth for the first time. I hope you like what you see! SM
