I went and what a shame.

The hall was far too small for the sellers as well as the buyers.

Again the ANDA Special purchase table was immediately inside the entranceway door and people were blocked from entering the hall as a result.

The RAM was in attendance and they were put at the back of the hall which meant that after about 15 minutes of opening the show doors, there was a very long line from the RAM desk to the front door.

Whoever organises this show, needs to have a look at the attendance prospects.   With the RAM there a good crowd can be expected.   I went on the Saturday and the line up outside the hall waiting to get in was in my estimate 2-300 metres long.

Once I got in the hall, one had to wait to get to see the items for sale as usual.   The walkways between the sellers was very small.

Once I had enough I had to battle my way out through the crowds standing around and those trying to get in.

I am sorry but this years show may have been OK for ANDA but not for the patrons that attended.

I suppose ANDA really have to look at costs for venues to make the events affordable
