 Poster: A snowHead
|
Only a month and a bit away now to the National Snow Show... so the big question...
NEC or Excel?
Looks like parking at NEC will be cheaper. Looks like overall they will be similar but the exhibitors are different between the two. Looks like a lot of the smaller retails are only going to 1 of the two events.
Last year we found it a good day out and something to get us and the kids into the mood.

@Rob_Quads, NEC is almost in the centre of the country and next to a mainline railway station. Whereas ....

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

As we live in London its Excel for us.
Unfortunately both are in large windowless sheds, certainly takes the sense of the outdoors away.
Battersea was pretty good in that regard and the food was good, a good day out.
The food at the NEC is absolutely gopping!

Yeah it is a shame its not back at Battersea, seemed like a great location and the kids loved the outdoor stalls and the Pizzas were to die for.

For anyone thinking of going to the London event....
I came across a code to get free tickets only active until today 14 Sep... use code FLASHSALE at https://nationalsnowweek.com/london

I can’t think they sell any tickets or anyone would rush to buy them the number of codes and freebies issued throughout the year.

@ster, Anecdotally I've seen far fewer free ticket offers this time around. Previously virtually any exhibitor that I was on a mailing list for or followed on social media was pushing free tickets, but I've seen relatively few this time, and all (apart from the one I mention above) were around the launch back in March. Perhaps as we get closer more will emerge as they see how many people have or have not paid for tickets.
Honestly, based on last years at NEC, I'm not sure I would actually pay for tickets - but then I guess I'm not the target audience, as I tend to have resorts picked for me based on groups I'll be skiing with.

I'll be at the NEC, possibly both days, depending on agenda.
@Mike Pow, I listened to you at some point last year, and it was very interesting. Part of a panel talking about less well known destinations including Turkey I think?

@Tubaski, I thought it was much the same as before in that front, case in point, just got this email from the organisers
“Don't sleep on this 48-hour flash sale: Limited FREE tickets to National Snow Week”

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

NEC - easier parking/venue access. Hope the food/beverage options improve.

Aw-www! I have just missed this at the NEC. I used to go regularly to the Ski Show at the NEC way back when it was in being. I didn't know about the Snow show had started up. In my calendar for next year.
