preparing for a good summer.

Where is the sun? I thought it would be warmer than this by now! Hopefully it will appear soon because I have alot of events over the next few months and abit of good weather would be helpful. Particularly since some are outdoor events!

I have high hopes for the House & Garden Show at Olympia. It is bigger than I thought and I have a good spot. I think! The other events are smaller but should generate some useful contacts. The show in Newcastle will be exciting and it gives me a chance to see my brother who lives up there.

Finally, I'd just like to mention the MAD show which was cancelled recently. It was going to be the biggest eco-show of it's kind but it couldn't shift the tickets. It has been tried before at the business design centre but that didn't work either. I couldn't say why but I think these things have to evolve and starting on a smaller scale and expanding might work better. It is all a question of reputation and I didn't know what to expect (and never will know). I think that's why I gave it a miss to see what happened and try it next time around. I'd rather support a smaller event and watch it grow than try to walk onto a large stage. Which is why you should keep your eye's on Redesign this september. It will be it's second year and will be bigger and better.
