Is that for a stand at a Gardeners’ World trade show, where you sell to the public? Surely not the tv programme?

[gobbypunk]

Yeah trade show this year at Bieulie 

[Steve Bullman]

What was the demo?

[gobbypunk]

Hi Steve it was a Chainsaw Carving Demo so yeah should have been paid or at the least a free stand never paid for a stand to do a Demo not even at the Bath and West Show

I fell for this in the early days 'the publicity will be really good for you' - yeh right!... But never was asked to pay to be there - that's really pushing it!
