Er... You were on your stand all 3 days. Funny, how the smell of crap got stronger as one came out of the toilets

Would that be the one near the stand with rather creepy hats with knitted beards?

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Montblancskier ... you muppet!
I started this threat on the basis that I went to the show on Saturday expecting so much more than was actually provided by the show organisers.
Thankfully I had a free ticket ... as I said I would have been disappointed if I had paid.
I went there expecting some small retailers / ski specialist etc ... there were some ... but my main take away was that this was a half arsed attempt of a show with little to incentivise a future visit - perhaps the organisers can take that as feedback!
Frankly I went to the show with cash to spend & came home with the same amount of cash (less £5 car park fee) having surveyed the junk on sale / non discounted stock.
Maybe getting some feedback from the stall holders would help ... they cannot be pleased with the show ...
I won't be going to NEC again ... hopefully the Earls Court Show will be an improvement ... the NEC is like a wounded animal waiting for the final shot !
Just opinion ... not really moaning or arsed what Montblancskier thinks TBH ...

I went to the show on Friday as a last minute thing so I ended up paying the full £10 for the ticket and another £10 parking. The show was fairly small but I had a good time and would happily return.
The freestyle show was worth the entrance fee alone i thought!
One negative though, my sweet tooth got the better of me so I got rinsed for another £5 on the pick and mix. Only to walk another 3 steps forward to be approach by a 'glen plake' lookalike on a snowhead space hopper with a bucket full of haribos in his hand 'do you want a sweet mate?'. If only I had took the anticlockwise route round I would be sat here £5 better of!

everythings a bit less bling though isnt it - thanks to about five years of recession. I hope the NEC stand fees reflected that and the resultant decrease in foot fall? Ive not been so can't comment on value for money.

On a positive note though, I can vouch for the cleanliness of HellsBells's toilets.

As I was saying, there's always a risk of having too little fun at these things so a few weeks ago I posed a question to the Chief Smilie Maker, "how am I going to make the ski show more fun?"
He simply said, "Well... spacehoppers are fun"
Good plan, Gregory!

Maybe the organisers need such an advisor.

Boredsurfing, Yep, good old Calshot Spit. Soton was always a good season opener. Same organiser that puts on the Birmingham show, but they just couldn't make it work any longer.

Bode Swiller, Yep, what a shame but it did dwindle rather rapidly, that Martin Bell and his bro were there one year and bought me and my mate a beer

well, we had free tickets and got to rest our bums in the club lounge, my daughter had a brilliant time, tried snowboarding, went up that climbing wall heaven knows how many times, and i didnt sign consent once!!! she joined up with another girl from the club and they seem to have collected a formidable supply of free sweets and souveniers plus a load of other rubbish, the food was well over priced the show was smaller than last year, and we didnt find what we were looking for, but ended up with some d30 protection that i wasnt!!! the displays were really good both the ramp and the bikes, some stall holders were really chatty and pleasant some were down right rude, (well known make of skis fairly adjacent to the atomic display!!) dissapointed with the Rossignol display, and if it hadnt of been for EB could have held the whole thing in my garage!!. Daughter also got to wear Dave Smith's gold medal (what a really nice guy) and he posed for loads of photos with some of our friends. The talk theatre talks were worth while, but wouldnt it be a good idea to turn off the 'main event' speaker in there????
so car park was a bit steep but thats normal for NEC, overall worth going.
and whilst the 'net' is great for getting lower prices you dont get to touchy feely which you can at the shows.
Going to Earls Court tomorrow so we will see how that compares.

davkt, I think CEM's source might not be the most erm... un-biased
Fatbob, it seems, can smell a troll at 100 paces and I'll just say for now that none of stuff found in the Hamsters' lockers conflicts in anyway with his instincts.
