Organisers of the Balmoral Show have already hoisted the 'Sold Out' signs with 700 stands booked for the 148th, three day event, being staged between 11th-13th May 2016. Stand coordinator David Laidlaw is delighted that in the agri and construction equipment sectors, there has been a 99.9% retention rate by exhibitors - with two additional construction sector exhibitors able to book stands. Among those returning this year are McSharry Bros, Glendun Plant, Northern Lift Trucks, Finning Caterpillar, Sleator Plant, TBF Thompson, Northern Excavators, Pat O'Donnell, D A Forgie, WAC McCandless, Wilsons of Rathkenny, Alan Milne, Johnson Gilpin and Cowan Bros, so there certainly should be plenty to see - and it's good to know that many visitors are attracted to the show primarily because of the various machinery displays! "We have really been full again from the middle of December when we closed to all stand requests. The addition this year of the Eikon Centre - a new multi-million pound exhibition and events venue situated in the heart of Balmoral Park - has given us quite a few logistical problems but we were able to get a dry run with the Winter Fair and more recently with the Maze Show," explains David Laidlaw.
