Evening all. Jon, hope it’s ok to post this here.
We are organising the next enthusiasts show in October next year. This show has nothing to do with the Wam, and is being organised by the team who set up this year’s event. That’s me, Duvet, Bazzer, Robin, Rabski ( who has hinted he may build something to bring! ) and Barneysdad.
We have renamed it The Maverick Enthusiasts Hifi Show, to honour our friend Paul Frank, who was pivotal in getting this year’s event off the ground, but unfortunately passed away two months before the show itself.
The show date is the 27th October 2024, and the venue is the same as this year, the Holiday Inn, Dodworth, the other side of the M1 from Barnsley.
Again, I stress this has nothing whatsoever to do with the Wam forum , and we hope exhibitors and visitors from all forums, and even those who are not members of any site, decide to join us next year.
We intend that any and all profits made from the show are plowed back in to future years shows, helping pay for bigger systems to have conference rooms, subsidising room costs, meals etc. All ideas are being looked at.
This year we had 42 exhibitor rooms, and carefully selected trade. I’m biased, but it was a bloody good weekend, with a whole host of systems, beer and good food.
If anyone on the Abattoir is interested in exhibiting, please drop me a line. I stress, this has nothing to do with the Wam, and is a non profit making show by enthusiasts for enthusiasts.
