COVENTRY: Despite tough trading conditions The National Painting and Decorating Show goes  from strength to strength. Last year attendance at the two day event grew by 20%, and the organisers are confident they can repeat its success when it takes place again at the  Ricoh Arena in Coventry  on  10 and 11 November.

All the suppliers will be there again to welcome you with displays and stocking incentives so make a firm diary date now to visit. There's plenty to see at the Ricoh Arena to make your day really worthwhile including  product demonstrations in the free MasterClass area  every 30 minutes, seminars and the opportunity to get right up to date with your suppliers and clients.

 Tickets are free by pre-registration on the exhibition website www.paintshow.co.uk or telephone the organisers on 020 8645 2433. Remember, if you pre-register you can pick up a  Bonus Bag, packed full of useful gifts and samples.
