I'm just visiting to meet suppliers and attend seminars with a possible view to exhibiting in the future but would like to show my support for anyone else who's attending as an exhibitor and actually meet real people as working alone from home can be quite isolating and it would be lovely to put faces to some of the wonderfully talented and supportive people I've 'met' on this forum!

I'm going, but same as you - just for fun really. Had a great time last year and met some lovely people. Ended up spending too much.

[LydiaNiz]

Really want to go every year but as it is slap bang before school starting, I can't (kids' anxiety levels get astronomical). This year the Mr is running a workshop on the Sunday too :-(

[susieq]

Yes, I'll be going again this year to search out suppliers. Not sure which day though as our part of the tube is closed on the Sunday.

[Wallace]

I am looking at going on the Sunday

[ShinyLauren]

I'm thinking of going on Sunday too.

Some of my stuff will be on display on the British Pearl Association stand but I will be at the massively bigger Hong Kong show. Happy to source anything there for anyone

[Ceri]

Pearlescence, have a wonderful time in Hong Kong. If you see any paua pearls I'd be interested. I know they are cultivated now but supplies seem to be limited to specific jewellers.

I hope you manage to make it one year Liz.
Everyone else, I look forward to (possibly) running into you!

[pearlescence]

I will look

[ps_bond]

Looks like I shall be there Sunday :)

[Ceri]

Thanks pearlescence.

I'm definitely going on Sunday and Tuesday (trying to wrangle Monday free too, as there are a number of seminars I wanted to join.

I'll look out for you all to say hello!
