GET ready for the next hugely-successful Evening Press Business 2 Business Exhibition.

The event, organised in association with the York and North Yorkshire Chamber of Commerce, will again be at Knavesmire Stand at York Racecourse on Wednesday, November 10, from 9am to 4pm.

Already the queue to take part has begun, with the rush to book exhibition stands expected to exceed the 53 exhibitors last year, many of whom are expected to return.

Also expected to break records will be the number of visitors - even topping the 700 who converged on the day-long show in 2003.

This year, AA signs will direct visitors to the exhibition and a free shuttle service will be laid on from outlying areas to the racecourse on the day.

Another extra this year comes from the Chamber whose lunch at the same place on the same day was such a success that it will now also have a breakfast meeting there for people who want an early morning browse of what's on show.

To book or to find out more information, either telephone the events team on 01904 653051 or visit www.thisisyork.co.uk/twenty4seven/fairs/ which includes an online booking form. Mo Hayward, Evening Press business development manager, said: "We are very excited about this year's exhibition and we have a number of novel ideas which will spice up the event even more. These will be announced later.

"Meanwhile the phone has been red-hot with inquiries, and confirmations are beginning to stream in, so hurry if you want to make sure of your place."
