Motorcycle Show Traders Association (MSTA)
Aiming for a better deal for motorcycle show traders and visitors
Hello and a warm welcome to the MSTA website.
Essentially, the MSTA is an association of companies that exhibit at UK motorcycle retail and trade shows. Our reason for existence is simple: we want to improve things for traders, our own members, and visitors to the shows. We are not subject to any restriction or advertising pressure and are totally independent of any motorcycle show in the UK. If you have a view about any UK show you can email us at info@msta.org.ukWhile visiting our site why not vote for your favourite show left or write about a show you visited by clicking the review link in moduals |

 | EXETER ORGANISERS HELP TRADERS WITH RENT REDUCTIONS |
 Welcome good news comes from Bikeshows Europe who aim to support traders at a time when retail is far from its best and when rising costs of fuel only leads to us all feeling the pinch. With this in mind, they have greatly reduced the cost of indoor space to only £15 per square metre and outdoor space to £32 per metre. Note - Outdoor is charged by frontage only.
At a time when hard pressed traders are facing truly crazy price increases at Donington Park and many other shows, it makes a refreshing change to see an organiser take on board how hard traders are finding things, and react in such a positive manner. Lets hope other show organisers might react to this measure and follow suit.
To book space at the Exeter show contact Billy, on: 01270 623463 or 07775 753966 or Howard on: 0161 9047147 or 07979 244576

 | HUGE RENT INCREASES AT DONINGTON PARK |
 As many members now know Donington have sent out their proposed prices for 2008, which show a huge increase over the 2007 prices for all the motorcycle events.
As an example an outside stand last year at the World Superbikes costing £500.00, has this year increased to £1500. This means that the average trader would need to take another £3000.00 at the event just to cover the increased costs, and as we all know this just aint going to happen.
It would appear the Gordon Brown is not the only one ignoring what is happening in the real world. We are already aware of four regular exhibitors at Donington, who will not be going, and we believe Donington themselves must have reservations about these increases, otherwise they would have handed out the new prices at ExCel with the event flyers.
