MADAM – Further to my letter earlier this year, despite several interesting subsequent observations on the subject that you very kindly published, nothing apparently seems to be happening. During the Olympia fair in June, I carried out my own survey of fellow exhibitors who were members of both LAPADA and BADA [regarding a merger of the two trade bodies].
My survey was by no means comprehensive but your readers may be interested to know that of the members I questioned, 23 were in favour of a merger, with only one being against.
Could I again, through your letters page, invite both organisations to reveal their attitude, either in favour or against such a merger.
