Emergency Services Show 2011

[Tony Ferrari]

Just to confirm we have once again been offered a stand at the Emergency Sevices show on Wednesday 23rd and Thursday 24th November.

http://www.emergencyuk.com/Content/The-Emergency-Services-Show-2011/1/

Unlike last year we only have a "shell stand" so no vehicle on display.

All help gratefully recieved although it could be a tight squeeze as the stand is only 2m x 3m. We are in Hall 3 on stand 452

Entry to the show is free and this year that includes the conference (on the wednesday only)

[BobWessex]

Hi Pete Not open to the public but is open to the likes of ourselves; you need to book a pass but it's free.

[Pete Keane]

Cool.

Anyone from Wessex going , maybe share a lift etc.

Pete

[BobWessex]

I've booked my pass but will probably/possibly be there for both days then might stay up for the weekend.

[trevmales]

[TimChilde]

I've optimistically booked my pass......now to try and get the time off work to go ;-)

[robin-baldwin]

Asked my boss today about getting a day off - he nearly had a heart attack!!!!!

I will try again in a few days. :)

[BobWessex]

Well I filled in everything a week ago nothing received yet.

[TimChilde]

I'm not sure what we receive.

I know they aren't sending out passes this time - they have to be collected - not sure if we should expect anything else.

EDIT: just checked the email conformation.

hope they were the free ones, if not you may get a shock last year was mental money.

[Tony Ferrari]

Trev

Perhaps you should read my last post!


Please note the conference that runs alongside the show is free this year

[trevmales]

yes but you know i cant read:D

[BobWessex]

Just to show that "others" come on here.

Hi Bob
I notice on the 4x4 forum you said you had not had confirmation of your registration for the show. I have checked the sytem and you are registered as a visitor - your badge email will be sent next week to you

We look forward to seeing you at Stoneleigh

with warm regards
Emma

[nigel leyland]

In that case Bob, if those other who periodically pop in here would like to consider promoting a subsequent show in a more northerly area I'm sure there would be plenty of interest.....:) Unless they already do and we don't know about it!!!!

[Tony Ferrari]

Nigel

Yes they do! and we do know about it!

http://www.4x4response.info/showthread.php?t=2636

As far as I am aware Glasgow is in the "North"

[nigel leyland]

I was refering to wiwthin England Tony.......but the Glagow one is a lot closer that Stoneleigh....! I'll take a look at me diary....

[Tony Ferrari]

In that case, no it's only one a year south of the border

But that's the price you pay for living at the edge of the civilised world :D

[nigel leyland]

Carefull Tony......Scotlands just north of me.....!:)

[Tony Ferrari]

Ah! but I didn't specify if it was Scotland or England that was the Civilised World

Me, I'm just an Anglo Welsh Italian :D

[BobWessex]

Anyone got any thoughts on somewhere to stay cheap but decent & close to the event?

[trevmales]

im hopeing we can stay in the same hotel. tony was looking into nearby ones, so hopefully he,ll be along to let us know.

[BobWessex]

Just thinking that somewhere close with a bed, food and maybe a bar -- without going stupid, would be a nice convivial chat.

[trevmales]

last year was gd, next to little chef gd breka and gd grub at night, so not sure where this year, but sure uncle tony will know.

[steve mids]

bob i am about 40 minuets away from stoneliegh just off juc 2or 3 off m42 if you need a place to stay give us a shout

[BobWessex]

Thanks Steve, I'll bear that in mind

[trevmales]

just to bring thread up to date, we (trustees) tony and myself will be on the 4x4response stand so hope to see all those who can come along, look forward to meeting those i havent yet.

[TimChilde]

I'm still hoping to persuade my boss to let me out for a day......not much hope though. Staff off sick and it's exam week.

If not, I'll remember to book days off nice and early next time !!

[trevmales]

you can but hope:D

A colleague and friend of Yorks - Lincs 4x4 Response will be at the show - Gez Fairbairn of IndiComm Global Ltd who are exhibiting. Gez will look out for you guys and make himself known.

He has some very interesting products providing headgear mounted wireless visual comms over a large area which he is already selling to the military and is looking to interest the fire service.

His kit would add a new dimension to being an incident commander...

[trevmales]

will look out for him, think he was there last year, very interesting stuff.

[kevinstorr]

Anyone made it today? Might make it tomorrow work permitting

[cnapier826]

I had a great day at the show. Did some promoting of 4x4 and gave Tony's name!

Found some good deals and will be following them up in the next week.

The seminars I attended were 'interesting'..........
But the feedback from them was good.:)

[Patrick Molloy]

I was there, and yes, it was pretty impressive! A big thanks to Tony and the others for manning the stand. I was there briefly as a visitor, and there was quite a lot of interest even in the short time I was there. Great stuff.

[TimChilde]

In the end, I couldn't get out of work so unfortunately I missed it for this year.

[trevmales]

thanks to those that could make it, was a great show with massive interest, very pleaseing to see many user bodys knowing who we were and will be using us when needed, so keep up the good work all we are now getting well known, and well thought off.

[robin-baldwin]

Great show, Mike Wade and I attended yesterday. As Trev said above user-bodies seemed more aware of us than in the past and traders seemed keen to deal with us. Lets just hope this continues.

On a similar note...
I've just received my "Emergency Services Times Who's Who Directory 2012" (enthralling reading if you can't sleep one night :D), and notice that although Red Cross, Raynet, Mountain Rescue, WRVS and others have entries in the Voluntary Organisations category, we don't.

Could someone at National get us added? We could go for a small entry like Raynet's (page 100) or a full 'who's who of all the groups with a map' like Mountain Rescue's (page 102) - Now that would get us noticed.

[trevmales]

we will be and theres stuff in pipeline, info soon, keep holding your breath:D

[robin-baldwin]

Can I breathe yet :rolleyes:

[trevmales]

nope:D keep holding:p hope youve good lungs...

[robin-baldwin]

nope.............

[trevmales]

lol:D we will be listed next year, and other stuff

[robin-baldwin]

Thank God

I can come up for air at last:D

[Jonathan_Goolden]

Are there any notes available from any of the seminars?

[cnapier826]

They did say that we that attended would get them sent to us.
When they turn up I will see what I can do.

Small but perfectly formed............................................ ...the stand obviously not Trev:D:D

[Tony Ferrari]

It was certainly a lot less hassle than last year when I had to get the Defender in there the night before. We turned up ten minutes before the show opened and had the stand set up in under five minutes :D

[trevmales]

lol small is definetley not what i,ve been called for a few years:D:D

[John M]

Trev, you could have made an effort to look smart!

[trevmales]

once a builder always a builder:D

[TimChilde]

I'm sure there were more stories about last year's set up........I have the word KEYS floating in my mind :D

[trevmales]

ooh dangerous ground tim:D:D

[John M]

No tape measure on the belt Trev? Your letting the entire building trade down!
Having said that, I dont have one either, only a Bosch electronic one now - move with the times me!

[AshYoung]

Have posted this already but think I did it in the wrong place. My question was simply as to when we became known by various names on a national level?

I thought we were

'National 4x4 Response', now I've seen us advertised as '4x4 Response Network' and at Stoneleigh we were displaying '4x4 Response UK'

Not a regular visitor to the forum so may have missed something obvious but could some clarify the different brandings?

[trevmales]

have posted answer via your other post.
