It might have been the weather discouraging exhibitors from travelling but it's notable that this had less space in the Sally Army hall than in previous years. Normally they have the big hall for models and the small hall for books but only the big hall was in use for exhibits and stalls, this year. The small hall was used as a dining room.
All the same, Eldest and I found some nice new models for his collection and I picked up some ideas for Husband for their stand at Highways UK, this year.
I haven't been for a good while, but used to enjoy a look around in there. It's a shame if it's reduced size this year.

It’s a
nerdy roadways and traffic management industry
thing, a bit like a smaller version of Intertraffic. He works on traffic management software and is veering into designing hardware.
