I wish I could go but it really is too far and I haven't the budget for a Hotel atm, been too busy buying AV gear! 125 miles each way really is a bit much to drive in a day.

Looks really good though

Sorry but a bit of a trek for me, especially as I don't drive, plus work commitments keeping me online.

Have a good 'un to those that do go

Point of the poll is to guage numbers on the days, so there seems little point in knowing how many can't come.

Went last year and loved the Meridian, Denon and Sim2 demos. I have persuaded the wifey to come along, we are staying in Bath the weekend.

So really looking forward to it.
