Logo - Play Fair

Play Fair 2008 at Stoneleigh Park on 15-16 July 2008, is new. It is designed to interest buyers, specifiers, sport, leisure and play workers from local government, education, landscape design and the commercial sector. This highly focused, two-day event will be packed with free seminars, displays, demonstrations, trade stands - and a large playground feature set in the well-known Royal Showground at Stoneleigh near Coventry. Visitors will be able to see everything in one place on one day. The concentration of sports, play and leisure equipment in this dedicated event offers decision makers an effective way to keep up to date and assess their requirements. The seminars will further educate all on the latest in best practice in equipping sport, play and leisure areas. More: www.playfairuk.com

For the first time, trade bodies are joining forces to create Play Fair 2008. They are the Federation of Sports and Play Associations and two of its trade associations; the Association of Play Industries (API) and the Sports and Fitness Equipment Association (SAFEA). Each exhibitor will be a member of at least one organisation. For visitors, that ensures all exhibitors meet stringent membership criteria which mirror many local government pre-qualification requirements.

Chair of the API, Lesley Knight commented, “API Members and their customers have long wanted a one-stop-shop dedicated exhibition. The timing could not be better and the excellent and spacious Midlands location also makes travel easy.” Speaking for SAFEA, Jane Montgomery, director of membership and external affairs, FSPA said, “Play Fair 2008 has come at exactly the right time for SAFEA members and their customers with just four years to the UK’s 2012 Olympics.”  

Brintex, the appointed exhibition organiser and operator, is already taking exhibitor space bookings. Speaking between booking phone calls, Ray Baxter, Brintex event and sales manager said, “Exhibitor response is very positive. Potential visitors told us they want an exhibition where they can see the fullest range of equipment available, get right up to date and hear informed speakers on key topics in short seminar and briefings.” Ray Baxter advised modern trade show trends see visitors demanding a richly packed visit to ensure the time spent is totally worthwhile. “Play Fair 2008 will deliver exactly the visit experience today’s decision makers demand,” he confirmed.
