James started a Wigwam thread yesterday about a possible (actually pretty damn certain, I think & hope!) show for next year.

Yep - without doubt the AoS room this year was one of the best sounds at the show.
I think the Scalford Show is one of the best things to happen to UK hifi scene for many a year. (What a shame that Meridian Man's 2nd post on AoS was a downer.)
I've exhibited at all 3 previous shows and it is one of the highlights of my year! A huge amount of fun. I'll be sharing with a room with a Wammer in 2012 and he'll be bringing his big KEF 107/2 Special Edition speakers.I'll be taking my vinyl rig and anything else that takes our fancy.
Eeee - I can't wait!

Only guessing here Marco but I think it's the distance between where Rob is located and show which might explain the response he has given. Maybe he should explore the possibility of organising something local to where he is?
I haven't been to one yet despite really wanting to go each year, but the old bank balance he say "No"

You could well be right, Frank, but that's the problem with shallow two-word responses: the meaning behind them is not always clear, and so can be very easily misconstrued!
