The European Tow Show 25th – 27th June 2009
This years event will again be held at the Telford International Centre, though this time all indoors.
There will be a first rate seminar with a social programme focused on the Tow Show’s unique opportunity for operators, suppliers and customers to build relationships; events will include an 'All Industry Display Team' Demonstration, Business Conference and Gala Night.
The owners of the European Tow Show, RHA, have announced that the show will definitely go ahead this year. The announcement comes to clear up any doubts raised over the recent cancellation of the CV Show which was due to be held at the NEC in March of this year. RHA is one of the partners of the CV Show and the cancellation of that show was due to the major truck manufacturers withdrawing their support due to the downturn in the global economy.
Please visit their website for more information on such concerns as how to get there, how to book tickets and on-site accommodation.

Take part in Road Safety Week! 23-29 November 2009
Help us to save lives and to support people bereaved by road crashes by taking part in National Road Safety Week. Every day on UK roads, nine people are killed and nearly ten times as many are seriously injured.
Road Safety Week is organised by Brake, the national road safety charity, and supported by headline sponsors 3M, DHL, MASS (the Motor Accident Solicitors Society) and the Department for Transport's Think! campaign.
In Road Safety Week 09, Brake is calling on all drivers to commit to not drink even a drop of alcohol before driving, nor take even a drag on a joint or any other illegal drug. They are also calling on communities to inform the police of known drunk and drugged drivers and help save a life.
