MAIN'S first Motor Show outside London did cause some .oblems, admitted Society of Motor Manufacturers and .aders president Sir Barrie Heath last week.
He said that there was a ed for changes before the BO Show, including the pro;ion of temporary exhibition us and additional space.
And there are likely to be ide days or times of day for ecialist sections, including mmercial vehicles.
Sir Barrie also said that ere will be a complete re.amination of the problems combining the car and ,mmercial vehicle Shows.
He wants to see a perimeter nce with more admission points to cut down on the massive queues that built up during the 1978 Show. This would allow better access to the special attractions, including parachuting and water-skiing, staged this year.
Special attractions for evening visitors to reduce crowding in the early afternoon are also being considered.
"The great thing is that we have the time, the SMMT committee structure and the flexibility within the NEC and its management to discover the answers to this year's problems of success, — and to implement the necessary changes for 1980," said Sir Barrie.
He paid tribute to the way in which the transport arrangements for the show had met targets.
"For perhaps the first time we saw the advantages of real co-ordinated traffic planning involving road, rail and air and what could have been our biggest problem ceased to be a story in the first two days of the exhibition — traffic kept moving," said Sir Barrie.
