IT IS WITH GREAT SADNESS THAT I HAVE TO ANNOUNCE THAT DUE TO THE CURRENT CIRCUMSTANCES THE BTS EXHIBITION WILL BE POSTPONED UNTIL 22nd NOVEMBER 2020
Hi everyone. I just wanted to give you an update on the BTS Exhibition 2020 due to be held at the Warwick Events Centre on Sunday 22nd November . The WEC is due to re-open on 1st October but any event they hold will be subject to the Government guidelines and restrictions that will inevitably come with the reopening of all events centres. At this moment we are working closely with them to ascertain whether holding the event is both feasible and prudent. Our first and only priority is to ensure the safety of all exhibitors and visitors to the show. The event normally attracts 2500 people and we must be able to accommodate all of you with confidence. At this moment we are awaiting guidelines by the Government and will make the final decision on October 1st. For those of you who have booked rooms at the hotel I can now confirm that all bookings will be carried over to November and if we have to postpone again until 2021 they will be moved to any new date. No payment will be taken until the date of your stay . You can still reserve a room with Pandora to make sure that whenever we do go ahead you will be guaranteed a room. I will update the Exhibition website later today. exhibition.thebts.co.uk . Thanks to everyone who is waiting patiently for news. When I know guys you will….Stay safe and keep going. Better times will come. Please share this with the rest of the hobby. Many thanks Ray and Angela

SUNDAY 22nd NOVEMBER 2020
What a show! The attendance this year exceeded every other year. We sold out and had 190 tables of exhibitors packed with every thing you could possibly desire. 70 Exhibitors travelled from Germany, France, Poland, Hungary, Holland, Wales, Scotland and of course England. We cannot wait to see all of our old friends again in 2019. This was our 33rd Year and mine and Angela’s 25th Exhibition as organisers. I know we don’t look old enough (well Angela at least) but it has been a pleasure and a privilege to organise this event for you guys. Lets make 2020 the best ever yet.

What they said about the 2018 Exhibtion
“Hi Ray, now that the dust has settled a big thanks for Sunday, first time attending and we thought it was an excellent event, very well organised, top venue and brilliant atmosphere. Please pass out regards to all of the organisation staff. Hopefully we will see you at the next event “ Clayton Patilla (Exhibitor)
“Just recovering from the incredible show at the British Tarantula Society on Sunday, this has been the biggest show, a magnificent event with a wonderful layout, no overcrowding inside (although the queue to get in was huge) so plenty of space to walk about and see tables and a great friendly atmosphere, this one will take some beating, a big thank you to all who worked so hard to keep it as smooth as it was and to all who attended.”
Graham and Janice: Metamorphosis (Exhibitor)
” I have traded at every BTS Exhibition since 1985 and this is without doubt the best yet”
