You could ask Towsure and other exhibitors if they'll be having any special show offers on the item(s) you're interested in?

We bought our awning last year at the same show - it was only £129.00 but we have not seen it that cheap since, admittedly it's only been £10.00 more but I'm sure if you were buying a more expensive one the saving would be greater.

We're going to the show to have a good look at awnings and hopefully get a deal. I already know the kind of prices I can get them for online so have something to compare to. Even if we don't buy there I thought it would be a good opportunity to see lots of different ones all in one place, more so than we could at any dealers near us. I'm particularly interested in the Kampas.

As above, do your homework on line before you go,
I done this before Christmas looking to by a slow cooker and a 19 inch wide, under counter fridge in the January sale, 19 inch will fit through the door of my caravan.
Believe it or not in the sale, the cooker went up by £5 and the fridge by £10 ?????????
Good time to buy an Awning get all the prices and play one off against the other

We have found that going to the show for offers is a fools game as the cost of getting there is more than the discount you might receive. Also, with awnings the displays are not that good. Better at a dealers.

I have just heard on the Bbc news, that the NEC may have to close, due to spiralling debt.

Hiya, it appears that it doesn't have to close, however the BBC news states that it may have to be sold to raise money resulting from legal claims, not debt:

Birmingham landmarks including the NEC could be sold off

Of course, this will most likely not affect this show, or probably any shows as the new owners will just take it over with all ongoing concerns being honoured.

I suppose it would depend what a purchaser wanted to do with the space.

I think it would take some time anyway, so probably would be open until next year.

I live not too far away but I should think it will be sold on as it's an important venue being in the middle of the country - Manchester being the next biggest one!!

If it happens, all they will be doing here is selling the buildings to raise capital & then leasing them back, the NEC will continue to function as normal. For Asset rich/cash poor organisations this is normal procedure to raise capital.

Due to the costs re equality pay within the council..
Whether it is legal costs or not, it is a debt.

Sorry, I do not know how to do a link.

I have just read on a music site, that it may have to close.
The NEC is only one of a few places mentioned that may have to close.

Sorry it isn't working. It is called Musicmix.

Also in 'Exhibition News' it states that there is concern by the council that the sale of NEC group, could be seen as a 'fire sale' for land developers.
