Mark, good to hear that you're planning a visit to Spring Fair: it's ace!
It's well worth taking some time to get a good visual impression of the products available from the various moulding suppliers: there's such a difference between seeing them "up close and personal" compared to how they are rendered in catalogues/websites. It will hopefully leave you with a good idea of the overall "look, feel, and quality" of the products available from the different suppliers. It's certainly something that I have since found invaluable after my first trip to the Fair last year.

Yes Im really looking forward to it, I can only make the Monday and Tuesday so hopefully that will be long enough to see everything.
Im going to call today to see if I can get on some of the seminars, Im not really sure how many to see as I don't want spend all of my time in seminars and not get to have a good look around.
It will be interesting to see how what the other suppliers moldings are like as ive only ever used Lion.

Hi mark,
the framing seminars are on a first come first served basis, just turn up a little before the time, and you should get a seat,
last year there were people standing in the aisles.
on Monday there are a fair few interesting seminars, such as "Computers - why every framer needs one"

Grahame, I looked at your pictureframercam... just curious really, but found you have a woman climbing on your workdesk... the perils of live camera!
I went to the Fair, it was very interesting... We kept finding ourselves in random Chinese export stands though. Very strange.

Framing's a strange business altogether. Welcome to the Forum!

I think you've also landed in one of the strangest places within the strange business!

You have all the luck, Katlazy!
Just been chatting with one of my reps who was at the Fair: I here that Hall 12 was packed with drinking glasses and wicker baskets. Oh dear...
