Well I went to LIDS 2006 on the Sunday and had a great day out. All the usual suspects were there with dive shops selling loads of kit, 2 try dive pools, one for reabreathers an excellent photographic awards display and a few kit manufacturers - AP Valves, TUSA, Apexs , Humber.

I bought the club 3 basic weightbelts to supplement the 3 we already have. I also went along to Monty Hall's talk about his series 'Great Ocean Adventures' where he told the audience about how he came to make it and some of the behind the scenes tales - very entertaining and a full house!

I hope everyone who went enjoyed it too and they are looking forward to trying out their new bits of shiny kit in 2006.
