This will be the last update before we pack up and head off.
I have been trying to see if anyone would like a lift down the road as it is a long way to go with empty seats and spare load capacity so I posted the offer on the Confex 2012 Facebook and Linked In Forums as well as on www.liftshare.com but as yet no takers.
Fancy a lift to Confex 2012?
I actually do drive a Smart car but I can assure you that I will be driving a LWB Van of some description from Arnold Clark’s so you will have some leg room.
Today I rejected an offer via the Confex 2012 ‘Connect’ system from a visitor to come and sell to me…. err NO! I have paid for the privilege of selling to Visitors not the other way round. I don’t mind stand to stand selling but I object to being sold to by a visitor if you want to sell get a stand!
The printer has done all our panels for the stand and we have been spending today putting it all together, they look great but.., there is always a but, they have made them all 10cm too short! Right keep calm how can we work round this… Add a skirt at the base or make a hat at the top…? You will have to come and see how we solved this one… 
Next up date will be from the stand…. come and see us if you can and we hope you enjoy the show!
Hello – thanks for your Confex 2012 blog posts which I have enjoyed reading.
