The bi-annual West Wilts show is taking place today, tomorrow and Saturday in Trowbridge, and I have agreed to take a table for Well House Conultants and Save the Train on the Federation of small businesses stand.

Of Course, being a small business organisation thay had booked a small stand. No - that's unfair; the stand this time is, I'm told, much smaller that the stand they had last time. And I screwed up my dates too and had a course this morning ... so couldn't arrive until later.

The result? I'm squeezed in between a "feel your breasts" exhibit selling health advice CDs and equipment to check your ((afforesaid body parts)) and an IBM software supplier who's junior team were great to talk to, but really didn't know why they were there. Oh - wait - someone else has arrived even later than me, and we've had to squeeze in a mobile beer pump of the sort you would use at a folk festival. I ended up opening the two halves of my display, book like, to show people each section as I talked with them. Turned out to work remarkably well.


Outside the marquee that we're in, the rain doth pour and the site turn into a mini-Glastonbury; I really pity the outdoor exhibitors - I only stopped briefly at one booth, and I know that others were skipping them too.


But lest you think I'm complaining, that's far from the case. There's always someone who's got far more of a struggle with the conditions than I have, and I really enjoyed myself. Back for more tomorrow.


I have, mind you, taken steps to get a little more space tomorrow. If you're in Trowbridge, come along and see us - same building, different booth. I'll post up more pics at the end of the day.
