Clothes Show Live! NEC Clothes Show Live DC Trip 9th December 2013 It was very early start on the morning of the 9th December, the first pick up at 6.30 am before heading into Barnstaple to pick up the mini bus and then off to collect more people from Gunn, Barnstaple and Ilfracombe. We hit the Motorway around about 9.20 am and headed north towards Birmingham, with a breakfast stop at 10.00 am we continued on our way. Despite a slight wrong turn detour we arrived at the NEC MASSIVE car park at 11.30 we circled around and around till we got a space. Then it was on the bus and off to The Clothes Show Live. The main arena was huge with hundreds of accessory, information on careers and food stalls, all offering free trials or samples, but mostly there was a catch and you had to pay something first, of course ! For example glitter lips free application, but you have to buy the glitter lip stick first! We had booked to see a cat walk show in the main arena so headed towards there, along with so many others...thinking this was an ordinary cat walk show we sat and waited... .....but this was no ordinary show !!.. 11.
