Mon 25th April.
1pm We set off from our base in Liverpool and drive over to Leeds, within a couple of hours we enter the First Direct Arena and get set up in a jiffy.
4pm Now its over to our Hotel at Weetwood Hall, to get ready for Exhibitor drinks and canapés, hosted by the amazing team at CHS.
Tue 26th April.
8am An early start as we drive over to the Arena, giving a lift to the lovely Teely Pearson Webb. We have plenty to discuss, including Teely’s seminar at the show, and our plans for the day. It’s a good job as we spend over an hour stuck in Leeds City Centre Traffic for the 4 mile drive from Weetwood Hall.....
11am CHS is rocking already! We are meeting our Venue partners and friends, and lots of great new contacts being made.
1pm Time to grab a spot of lunch, so we head over to the demo area, where Fon and her team from Chaophraya, are giving a fantastic live Thai Cooking masterclass. We stuff ourselves silly with fantastic Thai food –yum yum!
3.30pm A fantastic day is near an end, CHS is still rocking, we are meeting so many new contacts and old friends.
5pm Time for quick drink at the aftershow party with our friends at CHS, Teely, and the gang at Target Response. Simon is mistaken for both Boris Johnson and Donald Trump during the show, and is preparing for a snooze on the way home back to Kent with Andy!
9pm We arrive back in Liverpool after a superb couple of days. We are a little tired, but raise enough energy to go for a curry :-)
