    Default AOS show discussion thread

    Prompted by Marco on a CaC thread it was suggested that a new thread should be started on what may well be the AoS show in a similar vein to the Hifi Wigwam show...

    As I'm kind of keen on the idea I thought I'd get the ball rolling so to speak

    Mike brought up what must be one of the first questions, where it should be held. I'd suggest a when might be as equally important...


    Over to the floor for discussion

    I'd say the big problem is where, if it's too far south the folks from up north and bonnie Scotland may feel a little left out and vice versa

    I think before you start to look at venues, you need to think what kind and how big a venue you might want; and that depends on how many may exhibit.

    Also, I think you need to determine if it is going to be amateur only (as the Wam show is supposed to be), or if trade will also be able to be present and, if so, to what extent?

    thing is if it's next year it'll need to be a fair bit after Scalford and not in holiday times, so around October which ever way you cut it.
