Then we travelled in style to Las Vegas for the weekender Viva Las Vegas!  A long drive but very enjoyable in our hired Camaro SS Convertible!  We had a great time and caught up with old friends and saw the beautiful sights of sunny Vegas as well as seeing some great bands such as JD McPherson, The Bellfuries, Duane Eddy and Ray Campi!

So we’re now back, refreshed and ready to kick start the new show season with lots of new products and designs!
