Annual Tile Fair, Nottingham – CANCELLED
As announced at our AGM in July, TACS will no longer organise an Annual Tile Fair in Nottingham and this year’s tile fair has been cancelled. Many members will have fond memories of the fair, sadly there are not enough dealers or visitors to warrant an event in the internet age.
