Pat on the back for The Wam Show organisers & owners.

[BarneysDad]

Huge thank you to all concerned in getting this show to happen.
The faith shown by the owners & the work of the Mod Team, to first drag this forum back from the brink, and then put on a HiFi Show, cannot be overstated.
Well done guys,

The North Stafford Hotel was an inspired choice.
A sort of illegitimate offspring of Scalford Hall in the best possible way.
Great central England location, good road links and no Park & Ride!
Next year being located opposite the rail station (strikes permitting) can only help increase visitor numbers even more.

Further thanks to the companies & individuals who donated some very impressive kit towards the Dougie Mac Childrens Hospice charity.
How I desperately wished I needed an integrated amp, as someone got the bargain of the century with that Audio Note Cobra & AN goodies in the auction yesterday.

Theres no show without exhibitors so well done to everyone who took their hifi apart, loaded into a car or van, drove many miles, set it back up in a hotel room and sat with it all day, just for the delight of others.
Finally thanks to the visitors/members who supported the show, dug deep & helped raise several thousand pounds for charity.
Total to be be announced later this week.

Are we going to be given an actual figure of the money raised for the local charity ….pic of a presentation maybe etc

Working on it, like all charities they rely on volunteers and closing September has been a priority.

I am keen as all to make a buzz around this magnificent effort!

An overdue word of appreciation and thanks to organisers and to exhibitors of all the wonderful systems and eclectic musical tastes from a first time Newbie. I acquired the Alchris speakers in the auction for my study - seems only reasonable that I bring them along in a small room set up in 2023?

I hope that you enjoy them, they are wonderful sounding things!

we are on the hunt for yet another new hotel right now, watch the 2023 show thread when we announce and stick your name down!!

thanks for your support

kind regards,
Paul

We raised £6k with gift aid, leaves a warm feeling about the power of the wam, our great members and, of course, our generous trade exhibitors.
