On the other hand, there is nothing to stop the organisers soliciting
pre-bookings from jumblers. After all, some shows require pre-booking
for everyone, even exhibitors, and still attract plenty of
auto-jumblers. Obviously, the very early pre-booking requirements of
the IWM make this awkward, but, not, I shouldn't have thought,
impossible.
I will report back after the next meeting of the Beds & Herts TSSC.
