"I am writing to thank you all for the opportunity to exhibit at your fantastic show. We were extremely impressed with the organisation, the knowledge and co-operation of staff within the building, the carparking/unloading/loading facilities and the informative show guide.
I also appreciate the fact that you all took time to meet the exhibitors – this means a lot and contributes towards the wonderful family/team atmosphere of the show. We also received some great feedback from customers."

"Thanks ever so much once again for organising a fantastic exhibition last week-end.
I am delighted to inform you that a total of £624.26 was raised for Macmillan Cancer Support. Pat and I really appreciated all of your help as this was the first time we had attended your event.
I hope you have received some excellent feedback as many people who visited our stand were very complimentary about the exhibition and the stall holders.
With best wishes
Angela McCormack - Macmillan Cancer Support"

"I would like to say congratulations for the organising of the 50th Miniatura show.
On the first day when the tannoy announced that the show was open a cheer could be heard from the waiting queue outside, this was good hearted - not from impatience!
The show was very busy on both days and had a very good feel all round. Lots of people who had not been to a show of that type before - which proved to me that the extra publicity had paid off.
For my part I had a 'hands on' demo part to my stand which persuaded quite a lot of customers to stop and ask questions. Some stayed for some time to be shown, and have a go at, sewing techniques and went away informed as well as entertained. Many said they thoroughly enjoyed the chance to have a go and to ask the questions that they had wanted to in the past but felt they couldn't, or shouldn't. It made for a very relaxed and more enjoyable time."

"Our theme this year was 1/24th scale. We started with simple blanket boxes inspired by one member taking part in Fiona Broadwood's (Petite Properties) workshop at Miniatura last year. We
then progressed to double bed kits. Purchased from Judith Dowden of In Some Small Way, these laser cut kits went together so well and even included all the bed linen.
Finally each member made a 1/24th scale room box and furnished it in her own way. The styles of rooms ranged from an art collectors library to a Japanese tea room.
Best wishes,
Caroline Mitchell - Angus Puffins

"I attended the show on Sunday and once again had a really great time! Spent lots!!! And remembered to buy a Show guide this time! The exhibitors are of such good quality. But I know there is a range from the 'pocket money' standard to the really high quality stands.
Well done on a really fab and successful show. Happy 50th roll on the 51st!!
Thank you for making it a real pleasure to attend. I always look forward to attending now - this is my third visit. I have lots of pics of things I bought at Miniatura or from exhibitors that I found through the show!
Here for example is my dining table set up for a dinner party. - Jazkat"

"We just wanted to say congratulations on achieving your 50th Miniatura!
We had a fantastic time, the atmosphere was electric and we had a very successful two days. It was a privilege to be part of your very special event and we would like to say thank you for letting us be a part of it.
A message for Andy as requested, our 50th customer was presented with the complimentary picture in a golden frame with easel that we showed you at the weekend. The lady was absolutely delighted! Her name is Gillian Lee and she is from Gloucestershire.
Once again, thank you very much and congratulations."
With warm regards,
David and Julie Stanley of
