*waves back at smitch*. We still havnt made it home - the pub was calling ;)
Was a good day though and good to meet Justin, smitch, AJLA, logo ear and mrs maggot.
Car full of brochures and samples to wade through once we are home and some interesting stuff to see, even if my credit card won't stretch to the £80k I could have easily spent :)

We went on Sunday, we haven't been for a few years and were just looking for inspiration - what a disappointment! The show was much smaller and squeezed into a smaller area. Totally dominated by the big clothes suppliers and where there was hardware, not much was being demo'd!

What a contrast FESPA was last week. I was helping on the All American stand and we were 'flat-out' the whole show. I think we printed over 350 shirts over 3 & a bit days.

As we left Printwear we both agreed we wouldn't attend again! I guess if you were a 'first timer' and new to garment decoration and/or sublimation, you might have enjoyed it.

Spent the day their today, had a really good time and certainly worth the visit. Good to catch up with a few old contacts, a few new ideas gained, all in all a good day :-)

It was a pleasure to finally meet with some of you guys and thank you to everyone that made it to the Listawood meet.

I'll be back again tomorrow but only for a brief visit so I can disappear over to Nottm and catch up with family.
