Had a great weekend also. I always enjoy attending this show.
Big thanks to Angus for organising and allowing me to use his chair when he wasn't around.

Woolies have sent out a bulletin on the NEC and leather restoration - got my mug on it - always wanted to be a super model.

'Demo at the N.E.C. Classic & Restoration Show
A customer Mr Tanser was demonstrating using one of the leather renovation kits at the recent N.E.C. show on the Lotus Excel stand, another fine example of what the kits can achieve.'
