So my flights are booked for a dirty weekend of Hi-Fi porn.

Anyone else going?

Hey, looks really cool.

What budget are we talking about to go there (flight + hotel + etc..)?

Aerlingus are about €65 and Ryanair about €50....... I haven't accommodation yet, but was thinking AirBnB for under €50.

Looks like a good spread of manufacturers, both new and old.....

i was at this show a few years ago i bristol airport is in a rural area and a return ticket to the main station in town can be bought
from there you can walk to hotel i made the mistake of going to an upper class marriot with men in high hats -and having unshaved and atyrone gaa rucksack i soon got pointed out the door -so two marriots near to each other
the show has a bit of a reading what hifi about it i would go in the morning and come home that night
although you can get hooked up in some interesting people.
a good thing would to get some food packed with you as it is sort of snackish bar food type and you could atend a few more rooms
the record cleaning machine sean monks forgive spelling was interesting and he will clean 2or 3 of your records for you-i always like to speak to guy seargent he always has time for an over enthusiastic diy er
anyway good luck to all those atending

Thanks for that info Giant Haystacks, will have to pack a lunch box (or 2). Will of course bring the camera and report back to Tir Na HiFi on my findings......
My real purpose for going over this year is to do a recce for 2016, am contemplating taking a stall for ckspeakers.com, plus it's always good to see what other manufactures are up to.

If anyone else is going over on the Sat/Sun, and fancy's a pint or 2 (or even a coffee) let me know and we can meet up.
