Why?

Still a change to get to DLR.

Might as well stay at Canary Wharf.

 

I like Kensington, so that's where I usually stay. Plus its on the circle line so Kingscross, Kensington, Tower etc all easy to do for a novice like me.

 

And I absolutely dont do buses.

Don`t blame you.

did anyone go to the last one? what was your reaction?

last one in London? I presume was what you meant....... if so Not me

Last IFSEC in London was years ago, did secureX quite a bit at Earls Court back in the day which was ok..... but by the end you could understand why it died.

 

Think that the Excel this year will be interesting, but not holding my breath about it being any better than Brum Last year. But i personally think that it has been dying for years and should be every other year with road shows.

 

I will be there anyways though.

 

Well thats my tuppence worth anyways.

What about the show the NEC are running this year in May?

 

Excel is pain in butt to get to and flights cost more

 

Will wait and see to nearer the time

Can't see many north of Birmingham bothering.

Last 2 or 3 have been a waste of time anyway.

Pyronix are going to IFSEC for the first time in about four or five years. Should be interesting at the new venue.

Glad it has, would like to go this year as it was a nice experience when i was an apprentice, anyone here done the apprentice skills challenge? i think i took part in the 06 one. Done miserably as you had to wire a booth with 3 detectors and setup a redcare gsm in about 20 minutes! i dont think i even got the lids on the trunking let alone progging up a redcare gsm which back in the day was about 40 steps haha

I went this year for the first time. Drove from Manchester £20 parking was no problem. Boss wanted to drive to Amersham then tube straight through central London during rush hour! Was fine driving and as there were 2 of us economical as well. Only did one day and in all honesty it was enough really. Was excited before but felt it wasn't really worth it. 

 

I would have liked to have done a second day but only to go to H&S part which I am quite interested in. One day was enough for the security IMHO.

 

At the SSAIB regional meeting they asked what people thoughts were on it and the fact it was in London was the major reason people don't go. It was also said how that manufacturers are pretty good at keeping people up to date with products so there also less inclination to go on that front.
