Wakefield 2005

It's the biggest show of the year, RISCWorld has the details.

We covered the Wakefield show in the last issue, but as it's so important we are going to cover it again.

This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Wakefield Show, it hardly seems 10 years ago that everyone was crammed into the Cedar Court Hotel, for what was supposed to be a little show, but ended up taking over nearly an entire wing of the hotel. This year the show will one again be taking place at it's regular venue, the Thornes Park Athletics Stadium. The show will be open for two days over the weekend of the 21st and 22nd of May. On Saturday the show will open at 10am and close at 5pm, on Sunday doors will be flung open at 10:30am and close at 3:30pm

The Thornes Park Athletics Stadium is very easy to find, by foot and by car, and has ample parking. For those coming by train a free minibus service will operate from Wakefield Westgate station to the show.

This years show has been sponsored by APDL, Stuart Tyrell Developments, Richard Hallas, MW Software, Spellings Computer Services and VirtualAcorn.
