The 2005 exhibition was a double celebration - not only was it our
50th Annual Exhibition, but also the club's 75th anniversary, so we wanted
to make sure it was a good one!
Saturday 01 October 2005 - 10am to 5pm
Sunday 02 October 2005 - 10am to 4pm
St. Edwards School, London Road, Romford.
|
|
St. Edwards School was a new venue for us in 2005, much closer to our club
headquarters than our previous exhibitions have been, and following success of this exhibition we hope
it will become our permanent home for the exhibition for many years to come.
|
|
We were able to spread out in two separate halls, allowing us to exhibit a broad selection of layouts,
plus a full compliment of trade and demonstration stands.
