INPAS 2012

It was definitely a girly day out today when Mum, Polly and I went off to Warwickshire for the annual INPAS trade show. We were looking for some new ideas but I have to say we were a bit disappointed with what was on offer, which consisted mainly of bouncy castles, some of which were huge and super-scary!

We said hello to a couple of people we knew in the industry and admired a very large "Circus dome" inflatable that was completely enclosed. I liked the idea of it, but Polly who mans Reception and is therefore far more involved with what the children get up to, was worried that we couldn't see what was going on inside and if there was an accident, it would be difficult to get the child out of the very narrow exit.

After a sandwich for lunch (no posh dining out here!) we wandered outisde to see another vast array of bouncy castles, all on the same sort of theme. We did like one which had a slide at the front but it looked geared towards more younger children so we decided that it wasn't the best show we'd ever been to and headed back to work.

Today has been grey and misty with no hint of sunshine at all. What's happened to Spring?!

Hi Janie,

If you are looking for something new and exciting rather than the run of the mill bouncy castles then it might be worth having a look at this video (At least the 1st 70 seconds). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUYQIK81fcQ

It briefly shows and describes a large range of fun and revenue generating activities and products

Wishing you a fun 2012!!

Kind regards

Angus
