The Association presented two seminars, which were felt to be of vital importance to both association members and to the industry as a whole, on each day of the show.
BSGA President David Dyke provided an overview of the new European Standards (Eurocodes) and explained how these would affect sign makers while Director David Catanach and Technical Committee Chairman Mike Hall explained how maintenance of signs is a legal requirement under planning laws.
“We were pleased with the response to the seminars and would like to thanks the show organisers for giving us the opportunity to present them. The feedback we got from those who attended was that both seminars were interesting and thought-provoking,” said David Catanach. “The seminars brought out into the open some of the important work the BSGA does behind the scenes and we were delighted that, as a result of presenting them, we have had a number of applications to join the Association.”
The seminars took place during what David Catanach described as a really vibrant and upbeat show. “It’s been the best of recent times and I can’t remember a slack period during the whole three days.
All the BSGA members who exhibited reported high levels of interest and activity. The show is, obviously, a barometer of the improving economic climate in the UK.”
