I personally find it an average day but end up going if I can tie it up with another reason to be in the midlands (there are not many..) I can't remember last year but the year before, MV had Spearmint Rhino girls on their stand..Very knowledgeable .
Save your cash and go to Milan £52 on Ryan air. 3 times the size and better class of exhibits :tonguewink: 21 euros to get in Free programme no parking to pay I left at 8pm last year and could have done with another day. The last time I went to the NEC I covered it twice over in the before 4pm.
I last went a few years back and it was quite a quick trip! We have also instead gone to Milan probably 4 out of the last 5 years on trade days so not many people, free to get in, £50 flight plus think it was about 20 euros bus. If you time it right you manage to get into a launch and get free food and goodies - Triumph one year and MV another.....
