    It's called the "bar" and is on the Terrace level...
    What a coincidence...that's my favourite room too! See you there Adam.

For those driving some distance, you can always park at Bristol Parkway (park and ride) and get the train to Templemeads. Easier than crawling round the city looking for a multistorey.

    Perhaps bump into you Friday Adam.
    I thought you had to pay to park at Parkway? Better bet is to park near Abbey Wood station (Filton Ave area), and get the train in from there.

    Yes. You do, but it's a small price to pay for the stress relief of being whisked in by train whilst having secure parking. Yes, you can take the chance and leave your car in the Abbey wood area.

    +1 for rail being an easy way to get to the Bristol Hi-Fi show. I tend to get the train from Cheltenham.

    If that's the only thing stopping you, mate, I wouldn't let it worry you, as I've been banned from the Wam for years (long before AoS was born) and it hasn't stopped me exhibiting there four times and attending as a visitor, since the show's inception, or chatting/having a beer with many of the Wammers, including James himself.

    Such things matter not a jot, when it comes to Scalford - and apart from anything else, how exactly are they going to recognise you? You ain't that 'famous'!

    If you can make it, I'd thoroughly recommend that you go, as it's the most meaningful 'audio show' of any, for the genuine (non-trade) enthusiast.

    Marco.

    It's a brilliant show for bagging a deal that's for sure.

    Plenty vinyl stores more added this year.

    The best thing about the show though is you get a chance to meet me!

    Perfect... As it's a Sunday, I'll be in my usual 'weekend attire', and so will join you as Matilda. Don't dare clash with my outfit though, or I'll scratch your eyes out!
