Next one is in Dublin next week but it's much smaller than the UK ones. More gaming than vending.

There is normally one in June at the NEC, mostly water and big vending machines but worth a visit - called AVEX but not seen anything about it this year yet?

Well i run my glow novelty machines, however i am going to be re designing the machine to incorporate £1 vends. Should have the engineering drawings by April, then prototype and then production.

The re design is to incorporate feedback from major customers and operators.

I was new to vending when i designed the first machines so made a few **** ups!

I was originally going to sell the machines to operators like yourselves however i have decided that i will operate them myself and sell them direct to sites.

Have a look at my site if you like http://www.vendandglow.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Cheers

There is a show at the NEC late in the year for Pubs etc etc. They had bouncy castle stuff, brewers, catering and vending. I will try and find a name and get back to you Lee.

Yea it's LIW but it's not decided if it's going to happen this year. Numbers have been dwindling for the past 3 or 4 years and most of the established exhibitors have pulled out. A good bit of the reason is because there's an alternative show started up at Stoneleigh for the entertainment / inflatable end of things. It was started by a guy called Peter Grand who is amongst other things the editor of a trade magazine called INPA. The show is on 13th and 14th of March this year and is at the Stoneleigh Exhibition centre. It's called the Inpas 2012 Expo and Trade Show.A lot of guys with play barns and childrens play areas attend so maybe that might be of some use to you.
