Thinking of coming along but looked at the website. It says: "For health and safety reasons all visitors must be in possession of a catalogue, which contains the health and safety instructions" I don't and of course can get one on the gate but is there particular PPE that has to be worn or something? Thanks!

[Steve Bullman]

no ppe necessary....that catologues just covering their backs...likely says stuff like not to cross barriers when machines are being demonstrated etc
