)TOR SHOW 1980 will again be a combined car and cornrciai exhibition and will be held at the National Exhibition ittre at Birmingham from October 17 to 26, the Society of tor Manufacturers and Traders has decided.
1ut the show will be a very rerent one to the 1978 show, Lich aroused the wrath of a commercial vehicle instry and visitors to the mr.
iMMT deputy director vid Gent told CM that the pw will have an extra hall 1:1 attendances in the coinrcial section will be strictly iited to 29,000 people at any e time — but this will exvie trade visitors.
knd those people will be anted in and out through parate turnstiles, though are will not be a separate mission fee for the commerLI show.
Following the crowded conions at the last show, there 11 be wider aisles between stands and all the stands 11 be "islands" with no hibitors facing the refresh?it areas.
Trade visitors to the show 11 be able to buy their adission tickets, in advance mg with admission to the served car parking for the hibitors and trade that will within the new perimeter fence that will be put up for the show.
Also inside the fence will be demonstration areas for all the 'vehicles on show.
"The trade comes first in this show," said Mr Gent," and we will be putting together much more sophisticated packages of travel and hotels plus admission."
SMMT has decided to shorten the show's opening. It will now open at 10am and close at 7pm except on the last Sunday, when it will close at 5.30pm.
Mr Gent said that at the last show only four per cent of the visitors had arrived after 5pm, but more than 74 per cent of the visitors had arrived in the first hour of opening.
Coach operators will be provided with what the SMMT claims is the largest coach park in the world, capable of holding more than 1,000 coaches.
Press preview day will be October'14 and there will be two trade days on October 15 and 16. The show opens to the public on October 17.
