    I'll be exhibiting, Harbeth P3ESR, Croft 25R/7 and Quad CD-P2. Don't be a stranger.

    I'm very much into 70s Miles Davis at the moment though so expect a quick turn round of visitors !

    If you do wish to hear your own tunes please feel free. All offers to sit my room for 10 mins whist I go for a crafty smoke much appreciated ;-)

    It sends a shiver through me too, but once it happened you have no choice...
    Gives me more time to think and plan my next projects which is a plus, and it has made me realise im not as invincible as i thought i was

    Tough luck Steve. I did mine about thirty years ago. Got a nine inch scar up the back of my right calf now, where they sewed it back together. Six weeks in plaster and took a long time to stop hurting, but was eventually 'right as rain'. Good luck!

    I think you'll find that most rooms are filled by the exhibitor's own system, and not something they've 'cobbled together'. Yes, I'll be exhibiting for the fifth (or is it sixth?!) time this year and I'll be bringing along a different system again, but I have a large personal collection of items and I try to bring things along that I think people might like to see and hear. In this year's case, this includes a few rarities that quite a few may never have encountered before. The feedback I've had from previous years has suggested that this has been appreciated but if anyone wants to tell me otherwise I'd be happy to stop and attend just as a punter.

    If I may say so, your rather snotty attitude is somewhat counter to the whole ethos of the show, which has always been good natured, fun and turns up a surprising variety of equipment.

    Default Scalford Hall 2015 show , Who is attending ?

    You are entitled to your opinion but it is no more valid than mine. I'm well aware of what to expect at Scalford as I have attended every year. If I may say so, your self righteous attitude is also somewhat counter productive from the very ethos you seek to extol - perhaps it is time to dismount from your high horse?

    Perhaps you feel my comments were a snipe at you personally? Let me assure you that this is not the case; but in hindsight you have indeed exhibited the kind of systems I was thinking of. If people have enjoyed them then good for them and for you - but you can't expect everyone to be equally as enthusiastic.
