Title: Lords Trade Show Exclusive Invite
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on September 04, 2012, 01:12:36 PM
In an effort to help feed the appetite of the Forum members hunger for getting 1st glimpse of what's new to the market in 2012-2013 we have 4 exclusive invitations up for grabs as part of a CBF competition.

There will be lots of brands (GN, Asics, Mongoose, M&H, Boom Boom etc) down there showcasing their new kit and im sure the people who attended last year will vouch for what a good day it is.

(http://i444.photobucket.com/albums/qq167/tom_ayrtek/IMG_3932.jpg)

You will need to be able to get yourself to the Lords Cricket Ground for between 10am-5pm on Monday 17th September if you want to attend.

If you want to be in with a shout of winning the tickets then please register your interest below and all the names will go into a hat (or helmet) for a lucky dip draw next Monday 10th September so that people have chance to organise a day off work etc if required.

Is it getting picked out of an Ayrtek helmet?
Title: Re: Lords Trade Show Exclusive Invite
Post by: petehosk on September 10, 2012, 02:52:40 PM
Around 30 little slips of paper in an Ayrtek Elite - that would double the weight of the helmet!  ;)

The Trade show thread from last year was brilliant, hoping for a similar insight into the latest brands gear for 2013 from Sir Hosk and the guys lucky enough to go!!

A Flashback.

Just checked last year's Lord's show thread for the first time! Top work, Pete!  :D Some incredible photos.  Had I been there, I might've chosen to stock Chase instead of Hunts County / Mongoose.  Can't help but feel that I missed out on quite a lot! Oh well, at least I'll be there this year.  I was actually thinking of taking a few shots myself, but am quite relieved there will be other more talented photographers on hand to appease the insatiable appetite of the forum!  8)

Tom, I haven't seen anything about dress code, but heard there were a few sharply dressed punters in attendance last year.  Can you get away with casual wear, or would you at least say shirt and trousers?
Title: Re: Lords Trade Show Exclusive Invite
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on September 11, 2012, 05:33:51 PM
I had to suit up last year but think its a smart casual affair mate....thought Pete would have got some long lens shots to clarify what others were wearing last year ;)

Anyone got the link to last years thread?

Most shops wear trousers with their company polo shirts.

One punter arrived wearing a superb three piece suit tie and matching hanky combo last year - there were rumours he was the Stig in disguise.

A very dandy gent he was too!

Title: Re: Lords Trade Show Exclusive Invite
Post by: petehosk on September 12, 2012, 09:43:48 AM
I noticed that Gentleman - the suit was fitted and he had a very nice hat which seemed to have a dark visor!
He would stand and ponder at the stands, motionless for many minutes, silently pondering perhaps? Before suddenly moving onto the next stand! His footwork between the stands was light, quick and effortless!
Buzz, I think you could be correct!

Well, it is a gentleman's game, so that's only fitting really (excuse the pun).  I might do the same actually, just for kicks! I do have the tailored suit and hankies - will just have to dust them down first and get the iron out!

As am I, anyone from the forum at Twickenham today? Or tomorrow? I will be there tomorrow... Lord's seems to have overshadowed Twickenham a bit.
Title: Re: Lords Trade Show Exclusive Invite
Post by: Tom on September 12, 2012, 11:31:01 AM
Twickenham is actually the easiest to get into, but it isn't publicised as much and as it's only big brands (who aren't on this forum) it doesn't get talked about as much

We'll have pics from Twickenham this evening, I think.

Sorry lads manic day, it seems 2 spots have opened up as Charlie15 cannot make it either now.

Whos can actually attend on Monday if they win as I appreciate its short notice for anyone who has to travel any great distance and get time off of work?
Title: Re: Lords Trade Show Exclusive Invite

Title: Re: Lords Trade Show Exclusive Invite

I reckon just go with the rest of the original draw and once you pick 2 more to replace, get them to confirm?

you worked out what time you are getting there? Any hard and fast rules about turning up at 10am, or is it like most trade shows where you turn up when you are ready?

Just rock up when ur ready lads we will be aiming to get there and set up by 9-9:30 but it goes on all day so no need to rush down as such.

Can gather up the CBF masses and head for some food after if everyone is hanging around for a bit. We will need to pack up etc at the end tho :(

Looking like it could be 20% of the visitors who will be forum members.

Leo and myself will be there, but probably won't have time to chat too much - lots lined up for the day!

Youll be alright mate, St Johns Wood is pretty easy to get into. Parking wise if you keep your eyes open theres a few housing blocks with cheapish underground parking around there!
