Amongst the news to come out of Soltex was one snippet that
should have a big impact on the UK industry for 2004.
London Ski Show changes dates, shortens
Although still to be officially confirmed by owners DMG, a spokesman
confirmed that it is "95% sure" that the UK's largest
consumer show - The Daily Mail Ski and Snowboard Show - will be
changing dates and length this year.
The Show, which has previously been
held over ten days at London Olympia during the last two weeks of
October, will this year be reducing in length to five days and will
be held from 13-17 October, two full weeks earlier.
It is understood that the change is the result of continued
lobbying from within the industry that the Show was too long at
ten days, with many of the midweek days attracting relatively low
numbers of visitors.
Late closing means more socialising!
The location will still be at Olympia, but will move to the Great
Hall, which is larger in size. It is believed that the venue will
also remain open later each evening.
That will leave even more time for
socialising, so watch out for more details on this and all the other
details of the Show coming to Natives
microsite in due course. The Natives charity Ski
Show Workers Party will be held on Saturday 16 October, with
Superfly currently booked to top the bill.
