The Autumn Coin-op Show will certainly be held again next year, confirmed Karen Cooke, whose Swan Events staged the mini-exhibition at Chelsea FC's Stamford Bridge stadium.

Around 20 companies, all UK-based, took part in the show, which was designed to bring back the days of a late-year get-together for the British suppliers and their customers. Virtually every exhibitor confirmed their satisfaction with the show, which they agreed was exactly the low-cost but high profile function they needed to connect with their customers at this time of year.

Cooke said initially that she would be guided by the exhibitors on the prospects of another show in 2015, but within 24 hours of the close of the two-day event on October 16, she was committing to next year. It will probably be held at the same venue on matching dates, which would be Tuesday and Wednesday, October 13 and 14, 2015.
