Those stats are a massive disappoint Paul. Quarter a pint per visitor?

Figures would probably have been better Steve if the penny will ever drop and 'experts' running bars realise that just because we cut timber we don't all like to slowly sip pints of 'Scrumpwells Olde Fartdodger' or whatever.

Thanks for these stats Paul! We had a great time exhibiting at the event, we think it was one of the best shows we have ever done!

 

Definitely see you back there next year with even more machines!

Hi Paul

Can you drill down on those figures

109 exhibitors with average 6 people per stand = 654 per day are these included in the figures ?

How many visitors only turned left to Weston Birt Arboretum from the turnstiles ?

How many from the Arb trade [not general public having a day out at the Arboretum who just happened to wander along the path to the Arb show] where there ?

Yes it was busier than previous years looking up and down the showground but the trade sellers during the show were not much busier than before and that was to be expected with Honey Brothers, FR Jones and Listers Arb not there

 

The show had a buzz about it and we all want a national show to succeed.

Hi Les,

 

Obviously some of the questions you raise we cannot answer as we didn't keep track of where people went but reasonably assumed they came to the show...why ever would they not?

 

Clearly these are very much headline figures for marketing purposes so I have enquired with our "marketing man," and the show organizer (my colleague Simon,) to see if we can supply anymore data to help.

 

Hoping to post back soon..

Hi Paul as said before I had a great day at the show it had a good feel about it,not sure if was the venue or lay out but both were excellent and hope it's a regular venue I also think it being a month earlier also helped as not many people go away during May.i have already booked my B&B for next May 11th & 12th.
