Attending this year's event and last to be held at Stoneleigh Park was much more fun, knowing a few people and being familiar with the layout (people seem to have stand in the same place every year). Next year is the NEC and I can’t say I’m too thrilled about that.

New from Nordic Star www.nordicstar.co.uk seen on the NMR stand, was the best quality ear tag I've seen (but I am no expect), but also a version that puts the core from piercing into a test tube which can be posted in for testing. Sounds like a winner to me!

Ironically with HSBC being a major sponsor for the event, there are no cash machines in the show grounds!
