Convention in Tampa
Posted by tutpc on Thursday, June 26, 2014 2:14 PM
Have returned from visiting the 2014 Convention in Tampa. Whilst we enjoyed our three weeks holiday the part we were looking forward to most turned out to be pretty disappointing. We felt that the organisation was poor and the trade hall lacked many of the well known dealers that we have seen in the two previous visits to Arizona and Tacoma. Its not cheap coming over from the UK and to have to travel 400miles in one day to visit two open gardens was to say the least a little daunting. Or are we just two whingeing Brits!! hopefully Denver maybe an improvement.

Sorry to hear that Alan. It was partly the reason we cancelled, we had some feedback from friends and the itinerary wasn`t  that great. As you say ,a long way for us to travel. We intend going over for the Denver show funds allowing.
