About 20 years ago (when I were a lad) there was a national homebrewing exhibition in the Ponds Forge sports centre in Sheffield. I can't remember if it was on for a day or a weekend. I was 18 yrs old (just started brewing) and got the National Express coach to Sheffield (£4 return!) with my dad. It was a great day. I picked up loads of things like hydrometers/thermometers, taps etc. There was a jazz quartet milling round playing really cool tunes. All in all a great day.
Does anyone remember it? did anyone on here go? Strange to think I may be in contact now with people I mixed with 20 years ago.
Do they do anything like this now? It would be great if it happened again and all us JBK members could meet up!
Kev :lol:

I can recall going to a homebrew "expo" at Newcastle in the mid 1990's. All the major kit makers & equipment suppliers were there. I don't think that this happens now, iirc they used to move around the country & be held once a year.
