in the last few years I've been to the NEC, the ally pally and the May BMF. Out of the lot of them, the NEC is the place for new shiny things, taking pictures etc. with the manfacturers bringing their own gear rather then relying on the dealers.
The ally pally is more about the bits shopping, with a few quid being left at the Hagon and Fuel stands last week
The BMF seems to be a mixed bunch, I end up buying kit there rather then anything else, part bits shop, part big excuse to have a natter and part trade fair.
And of interest, every year for the 10 years, all I have heard about the most recent show is that it wasn't as good as it used to be, be that NEC or BMF.
