The Emergency Services Show 2009 opens its doors next Tuesday – 24th November – at Stoneleigh Park in Warwickshire. The two day show promises to be an emergency services extravaganza and I for one can’t wait!
It seems I’m not alone in my enthusiasm either – current figures from our registration company, ShowData, show that 5439 people have pre-registered to attend the Show. Add to this the attendees who register during the event and I’m certain the Exhibitors will be run off their collective feet.
NB Note to Exhibitors – I’d order some extra pens and keyrings, if you run out by 3:00pm on Tuesday don’t say I didn’t warn you!
I don’t think this e-mail needs to bang on about the 370 Exhibitors or the numerous product launches and live demonstrations taking place during the Show, so I’ll concentrate on more important things.
Getting to Stoneleigh
By car – set your Sat Nav for CV8 2LZ. The venue is a short drive from several motorways – M1, M40, M42, M45, M6 and M69 . Don’t forget THERE IS AMPLE FREE PARKING ON SITE.
By train – Coventry railway station is 15 minutes drive away. FREE COACHES will run every 15 minutes between the station and the venue. These start at 8:00am and the last coach from Stoneleigh will be at 6:00pm.
By air – Birmingham International Airport is a 25 minutes taxi ride, while Coventry Airport is five miles away.
Still time to Register

Road Safety Week
Thank you to the 5439 people who have taken the time to pre-register for the Show so far – I hope as many of you as possible are able to attend. One final point to make is that next week is National Road Safety Week so please all take extra care on your journeys to Stoneleigh Park – I look forward to welcoming as many of you as possible to the Show!
