It was in their meeting room area and comprised a few tables and small display stands. OM Systems had a good range on their table, as did Canon and Sigma, but the rest was a poor selection of used kit, pin badges for some reason, and a guy trying hard to get everyone to join RSPB. There a whole series of talks if you wanted to sit and listen but I was back on the park & ride bus within 30 minutes and home again by lunchtime.

How disappointing. I've never been to any camera show apart from the used flea market type.

The NEC show is well worth a trip. I went a few years ago and the ranges on display as well as peripheral kit, studio and darkroom stuff... It was a cracking day out. Camera World had some good deals on the day if you were shopping too.

What made the day interesting that year was the ComiCon event in the next door hall. A load of look-at-me tyes in costume were surrounded by people with cameras, loving all the attention they were getting.

Wet miserable day so I'm keeping myself amused by baking a banana cake, except I have no bananas, I'm using a pulverised kiwi and mango chutney instead. It'll either be a triumph or a disaster

Mmm, be interested to see how it comes out John!

that could be interesting or a waste of good chutney! We (wife) are in the middle of making this years piccalilli.
I have had a stressful day - old car loaded onto a lowloader and away. Chose a replacement car and then went to the pub to de stress, (don't like sending money) it nearly worked, just need another session so off to the pub again tonight I think!

Bit stingy with the icing but that looks good

It's a drizzle, to match the weather

Had my flu jab today. Given up waiting on my GP practice, they don't seem to have any stock of vaccine. Took myself down to the local chemists.

Unlike last year, I wasn't offered a flu jab when I had the COVID jab.
