    Every cloud has a silver lining, Mike. Look on the bright side. Situation being what it is, it does delay the possibility of having to contend with some self-opinionated arrogant arsehole, who, in all honesty, you'd like nothing better than to punch their lights out, that you might well encounter. You can never guarantee who's going to turn up at such events, can you?

    This is true, but i find you get the best version of them in person, less up their own arse so to speak, NEBO has always been a great event for me though Steve does a fantastic job organising it and although not ideal due to size and room location the liquid refreshments at The Wellington more than make up for that and the foods not bad either. My only problem is working out what to bring

    Hi all, trust we're all well/recovered.
    As a newbie I'm wondering if anyone could give me the lowdown on Kebworth. Is it a social event, an industry show ?

    You wont be going to shows until at least July/August if at all IMO.

    Kebworth is a one day show for enthusiasts to show off their systems with a few stalls to buy stuff.

    I do think we could have done more to adopt modern technology to keep something going.

    Eg.we could have moved on to Zoom with our laptops plugged into our hi-fis - with the added benefit the all the systems would sound as good as our own
