What is up with Astrofest this year?

[FLO]

Will Flo be there? Could,not find them on the list.

As far as I am aware FLO haven't really done shows.

My memory is that FLO attended for at least one year and shared a stand with someone - but it could be my memory playing tricks!

We attend the SWAF most years and were at IAS and Astrofest in 2014 (at Astrofest we teamed with OVL). 

We don't have any plans to attend Astrofest again. It is a long journey Exeter-to-London and (forgive me for saying) there isn't enough margin in astro retail to reward those who visit the event. People who visit Astrofest expect at least 10% discount and astro retailers cannot afford that (unless the manufacturers or distributers enable them with reduced cost prices, and that rarely happens). 

We will continue to attend SWAF (it's nearby) and possibly the IAS (much easier to get to). Otherwise if we have promos I think it is better we offer them here at SGL or via our newsletter. You can then consider them at your convenience in the comfort of your home

HTH, 

Steve

Thanks Steve, I'm relieved my memory of you being there wasn't a 'senior moment'.
