BIGGER, BETTER, FITTER FOOTBALL’S COMING HOME… (Well, to the FIT Show at least)! While it might not quite be Rio, this year’s FIT Show at Telford will be entertaining guests and exhibitors - perhaps more Baddiel and Skinner than window salespeople - with some World Cup entertainment. With the FIT Show closing on the same day as the opening ceremony for the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil, the FIT organisers wanted to get fans of our nation’s finest sporting export in the mood with a football-related activity. ‘free Wi-Fi to keep up to date’ Wanting to keep you on your toes like a striker at 1-0 down in the final five minutes of the beautiful game, all will not be revealed until the show itself... Footy fanatics in attendance will be safe in the knowledge knowing that on the FIT Show’s closing day they will be out in time to retire to their home, or local pub, to catch what is surely going to be an extravaganza of epic proportions as far as opening ceremonies go. Exhibitors still packing down will have the venue’s free Wi-Fi to keep up to date. The FIT Show, Telford International Centre 10,11,12 June. www.fitshow.co.uk 60 Solidor will exhibit at FIT 2014 front of house with a feature-packed stand.
