[QUOTE="SAVORY100, post: 511423, member: 5830"] Having only missed a couple in around 4.5 years of attending, I have to say I was disappointed to not be able to attend this past weekend; just a timing thing for me and some late notice on the announcement of the date I guess meaning I wasn't available. I'd personally be gutted if you did decide to wind it up Dave, it's such a great event that really is a romanticised throwback to the early/mid-nineties fairs and events.. and so much more. As Stu says, its a place to meet and make friends and as you say yourself, you don't have to spend to have a good time if you meet some folk and have a good chat. My brother attends almost as many as me and he doesn't even collect SW, so that says a lot about the event's draw and quality.... I'd love to see a reintroduction of talks/panels if that was possible I only say it as you mention it, it really was a favourite part of the events for me.. whether though that means a location change or a more edited vendor offer to accommodate that who knows. As Mark notes, maybe dropping the Summer event, recharge the batteries and go at it full force for the winter event is the way forward, Xmas is my fave, but I do love the Summer one too, I've come down the last two Augusts on my birthday for them I love them that much! Have no fear Dave, the passion for the show is there and people really love the event, if anything, this latest edition may have fallen foul of external factors such as Celebration, an early Easter using up annual leave and spends and other events clashing/nestling right on top. If you want to pull together a working party to help or discuss feedback/ideas on what comes next, I'm sure a number of the community would jump at the chance to get involved and help; I can't believe anyone wants this beauty to come to an end...
