Yes I know its a long way off, but just wondered who on this site was planning to go. I have been every year for about 10 years now, it is one of the highlights of the year for me , playing new games for free, getting very drunk surrounded by pretty girls and I usually end up at an after show party with a free bar too.
If anyone is planning to go next year it would be great if a few of us could meet up.

I might even go to this myself. Just been looking at the floorplan. Bell-Fruit, Barcrest and Games Media will be on the ground floor at the back, furthest away from the Warwick Road entrance.

I'd love to go to this but as i'm in Scotland i'd have to explain to my better half and mates why i'm heading to London for a few dates and there's not a chance i would say to go to a fruity exhibition, i'd be branded a mental addict straight away.

I'll be there to see how the manufacturers are trying to get round the new legislation, and to eye up the women.
To be honest I'm not looking forward to spending three days looking at Roulette presented in 20 different ways, and the inevitable reskins and reglasses of tired, uninspiring machines.
Still, I'll be there and I'll be bored by the end of the first afternoon just like the last two years. If I had a choice I wouldn't go, but sadly I don't.

Didn't go into ICE then? There were a few stands dishing out free food, wine and bottled beers. It gets a bit boring after two days, but an exhibitor's pass, corporate party and being on the piss all day/night certainly helps
