I'm not sure you'll be able to use highly flammable contact adhesive at the show. Is that what you had in mind Richard?

Contact adhesive will be fine to use-I've used far worse at this show!
Kind regards

Good! Can’t say I’d got that far in to planning, other than to think that spray adhesive might be an issue.

Is anyone else staying overnight near the NEC on Friday night? Not Saturday, as original post! :roll:

I'll be going home - the NEC is only a half-hour train ride for me.

Good point - I think that I need to consider spending the Saturday night in a hotel. Marcus

It looks like my plans to be at the show have been dashed - my daughter’s graduation ceremony has been rescheduled from last summer to that weekend. Will need to review my options but could I ask for anyone who is prepared to look after setup on Thursday and the running of the stand thereafter? I may be able to be there on Sunday.

Many thanks, Richard

I will be there Thursday morning but will have to leave after lunch, and I'll be back on the stand Friday lunchtime and over the weekend. So I can't be there to oversee all of setup, but I will help out as much as I can while I can.

I am planning on bringing my car, say approx 3:00pm on the Thursday afternoon. If necessary, I should be able to get there a little earlier. I am happy to be on the stand on Friday morning, Saturday afternoon and all day Sunday. Marcus

Hi, I have previously, on here and in the Zoom meetings, offered myself and Gold S1 503 Elite for the stand if needed. My wife has just booked a trip to Iceland over that period so not longer available as an option. Hope it goes well.

Thanks for letting us know Andy - just finalising everything and we might have needed your car - it would have been an asset on the stand - but I hope you enjoy Iceland instead.

Cheers, Richard

I'm willing to lend a hand if it would help. I'm available any of the days including Thursday.
What car is that?
