TIPE Launches 'Operator Of The Year Award'

TIPE has announced another new initiative today for TIPE subscribers.


A competition has been launched to find the 'Operator of the Year Award' sponsored by the RPII and is open to all operators who are current TIPE subscribers on the 1st December 2010.

A team of judges will be announced in due course and the winner will be announced on the RPII stand at INPAS 2011.

Organiser Peter Grand said, "The Inflatable Play Industry is one industry that does not have an award scheme and we have thought for some time that it is something Grand Affairs Group would like to arrange. This is a first step and we will see what the response is and will be looking to expand the concept in future years."
TIPE subscribers have been notified as to how they can enter.

INPAS 2011 Expo & Trade Show - 2012

It has come to our attention that there are rumours kicking around that INPAS 2011 / INPAS 2012 has been cancelled.


These rumours are totally unfounded and both shows are definitely on. We did have a discussion with exhibitors about skipping a year in 2012 purely because we were aware that EAS is being held in London in September 2011. ALL exhibitors stated that they wanted INPAS to be held in 2012.

For information we are already in discussions with Stoneleigh Park for a further 5 years taking us to 2017.

May I also remind you that the registration for FREE tickets is now open on the show websie www.inpas.co.uk

INPAS 2010 Gets Even Larger

INPAS 2010 Expo & Trade Show attracts even more exhibitors.

I am able to confirm yet even more exhibitors:
The Playbus Company - convert double deck buses into play modules etc
On Nebula Nine Ltd - provide interactive soft play
Kidz Kartz Ltd - electric kartz for mobile and fixed sites.

There is definitely something for everyone including some very exciting new products. This makes INPAS 2010 the largest play dedicated Expo for many years.

I can confirm that the first towable mobile indoor climbing wall that will fit through a standard double door has arrived from America and will make its UK debut at INPAS 2010. This is a very interesting add on for hirers as it means it can be used indoors making it an all year round hire.

The online registration closes today and after that you will need to register on arrival.

We have now booked Stoneleigh Park for INPAS 2011 Expo & Trade Show and are moving to the much larger hall 2 so that we can get yet more exhibitors in.
