Just had a look at Bembridge airport website and it dont seem to run flights there.I may be wrong but not many poeple here use a plane ,most use the ferries.Ask window washers he loves the isle of wight  ;D

Its almost impossible for any smaller firms to be able to afford the thousands rent charged.
Its a general cleaning show with plenty of floor polishers and pressure washer/vacs etc but not much for us. But if you dont go you may miss out on the best new product/latest must have.
Its a good time to chat - if you can find/ recognise anyone. In some ways the FWC is better targeted to our needs. But I aint missed one yet- its tax deductable  ;)

When you say seminar , do you mean one person talking about related topics or is there a number of things going on. Like products on show ect.

I'll probably go.  Might do what I did at the last one and use it as a half way stop point to visit family up north.
