LONDON GOLF SHOW DATE FOR YOUR DIARY
APRIL 25 to 27 AT ExCEL CENTRE

The London Golf Show 2008 is open for business and there are great benefits for early bookers.
Europe’s largest consumer golf show is preparing for its fourth outing and has announced it is now taking bookings for the golfing extravaganza which takes place from April 25-27.
The Golf Show Co’s managing director, Andy Barwell, said: “The London Golf Show has proven massively popular in the last three years and the 2008 event will only build upon that.
“Obviously there has been a lot of excitement throughout the industry about our new show at the NEC, but London will always be our flagship event. To that end we want to ensure we maintain the high standard of exhibitors we’ve previously enjoyed and are accepting bookings earlier than planned and we look forward to seeing everyone at ExCeL.”
And the Golf Show Co attributes much of its success to being based at the award-winning ExCeL Centre in London’s Docklands.
Barwell added: “The facilities available at a venue like ExCeL have enabled us to put on a fantastic show for the past three years and will continue to do so in the future.
“The infrastructure here is superb, offering everything organisers and exhibitors could want as well as being able to cope with tens of thousands of visitors on a daily basis.
“Other shows have gone down a different route and are holding events on golf courses but we’re more than happy where we are. There’s ample space, car parking, transport links, electricity, wireless networks, to name just a few benefits – and it can’t rain!
“The London Boat Show is not held in the English Channel; the Motor Show is not held at Brands Hatch; the London Motorcycle Show is not hosted on the M25 – they are all at ExCeL, because ExCeL is the ideal venue for consumer shows like this.
“If the need wasn’t there, they would not have been economically viable. We’re not in the habit of reinventing the wheel. And our exhibitor satisfaction ratings and the number of people visiting the shows support the argument that ExCeL is the venue for a show of this stature.”
In the last three years, the London Golf Show has seen more than 800 exhibitors showcase their products to in excess of 90,000 people. Booking trends indicate there will again be more than 200 exhibitors at April’s event – the fourth London Golf Show.
It is the largest consumer golf show in Europe.
It is this stamp of quality assurance that persuades the big-name brands to associate themselves with the London Golf Show.
