APF 2008, the UK’s largest arboricultural, woodland and forestry exhibition will be the biggest yet according to Exhibition Secretary Ian Millward.

“We have already had a record number of Exhibitors book with us, including many who are exhibiting for the first time. We have sold 4,250 m of demonstration frontage, that is over 2.5 miles and the original static display area has now sold out so we have had to extend it so we can accommodate any further bookings.” “Many exhibitors tell us they sell more equipment at our show than all the other shows they attend combined. This reputation has attracted the new exhibitors.” 250 exhibitors and 20 000 visitors are expected to attend.” APF 2008 also features more competitions and displays than ever before including The European Lumberjack Sports Championships, sponsored by Stihl & UPM Tilhill, the Husqvarna Poleclimbing Championships, the Echo Chainsaw Carving Championships, the UK forwarder driving championships, sponsored by Komatsu, the UK Fencing Championships, the world log to leg pole turning championships, an extreme mountain bike circuit and an extensive woodland crafts, and vintage machinery display and demonstration. The Exhibition takes place at Cannock Chase, Staffordshire on the September 18-20, 2008.  More information and ticket details are available on the web site http://www.apfexhibition.co.uk/ or from the office tel: +44 (0) 1737 245 081 email apfexhibition@gxn.co.uk.
