Birmingham has bottle! The Birmingham Committee has shown in the past that it is happy to try new ideas, and one such idea went down well at this year’s event. Special bottles of bubbly, labelled with the National’s corporate theme, were given to some lucky recipients... including the two mystery gentlemen holding the bottles for our photographer.

The OUR DOGS Schedule Service! Visitors to the Our Dogs stand at Birmingham National will have noticed the extended schedule racking built by Our Dogs stand manager Mr Ian Kempster. As part of the paper’s commitment to the General Championship shows and in fact ALL show secretaries, we continue to try and help with the distribution of as many schedules as possible to a very targeted audience...the exhibitors!
