Forthcoming events at The Amex...

[Moshe Gariani]

June 2015
• Thursday/Friday 11-12 June : ‘Eco Show’ 3000 to 5000 attendees
• Thursday/Friday 25-26 June : ‘Tool Show’ 3000 to 5000 attendees

July 2015
• Sunday 5 July : Diocese of Arundel and Brighton are celebrating their 50th birthday. Expected attendance 10000-15000. They have advised that most will use a coach (between 150 and 200 coaches). Worst case of maximum attendance and minimum coach travel would mean approximately 7500 using public transport.
• Friday, Saturday and Sunday 17, 18 and 19 July : ‘Jehovah’s International Bible Studies Convention’. Attendance is predicted to be approximately 10000 per day.

Not the first tool show we have seen at the Amex this season.

What happened to the pop concert this year ? Seems weird they can have Madness at the county ground in the middle of the cricket season but we can't have one at the AMEX.

 

[Bombadier Botty]

What happens if the world ends before the 17th July? Do the 10k JWs get a refund, or is their latest in a long line of postponed Armageddon and Judgement Days not due to happen for a while yet?

 

[WhingForPresident]

I notice that Kemy will still be under contract when the Tool Show is in town.. Headline act?

It would be interesting to know. If I was a gig promoter I wouldn't be happy with the travel and catering arrangements. Maybe this puts them off?

Assuming that's revenue for the club, it certainly beats the 'don't drive like a ****' courses run out of Withdean.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

The Tool Show & the Jehovah's Witnesses are becoming quite the regular guests.

It's all vital revenue for the club.

 

[Bozza]

The Tool Show.

How we joked about the signs promoting that when CPFC were due in town to take a play-off battering at our hands.

That worked out well.

I thought the WC rugby games would be the two additional "events" for this year?

My other half's on one of those at The Racecourse as we speak. Free refreshments supplied it said on the email.

It certainly does. I'm especially excited to note from that link that the new chap in charge of the Diocese of Arundel & Brighton (as recently appointed by the Pope) is called Bishop Moth.

I very much hope it's the case that he only emerges to gives his celebratory 50th birthday sermon after dark....and then they turn the floodlights on.

This is true. And many of them have been spare.

No, they're specifically allowed 2 concerts. The rugby would come under the 50 full stadium events.

 

[CorgiRegisteredFriend]

Can't begin to imagine how exciting a tool fair could be.

Don't forget the Wedding Fair. Think that happens in March?

Madness were on the verge of signing up to an Amex concert but Barber decided that JEDWARD would be a better long term option,I agree with him,we're bloody lucky to have him you know.
