Does anyone know the date for the IAS at Stoneleigh Park for 2018 yet?
Nothing up on the website as of last night.

I've just emailed Martin to ask when the date will be released. I'll feedback.

Just on Facebook Friday October 12th & Saturday October 13th

Looking forward already.

The venue is 100% accessible, so I'm in for fun and games

It certainly is all on one level, the doors are big and wide and it has wide isles in layout.
Unsure on other toilets etc. because I didn't look.

The show is great for window shopping and talking with like minded folk.
I have gone for the past 2 years and enjoyed it a lot.

It's something I'm really looking forward to attending. The knowledge to be had from something like this will be invaluable and coupled with being able to get fully hands on with equipment and kit etc...

Yes, it will very much be an excellent learning opportunity even if my credit card manages to hide itself from my mitts LOL

Just bought my ticket for the Saturday event. I hope it's as good as last year. That was my first one and I really enjoyed it.

I've been a few times and will go this year if I'm free that weekend. There are talks you can book into and even if you are not buying you can still enjoy ogling all the kit that you wish you could have.

That's what I done last year. I went to the astrophotography talk and drooled over all the magnificent scopes, then bought some dew straps. 

I'm planning on getting a new scope this year though
