1996 Sunday 4th August

The event attracted 140 exhibitors and approximately 15,000 visitors. The event now requires six main marquees as many of our existing exhibitors are taking more space.

PHAB Northwest have moved their "Heartbeat Hike" Sponsored Walk/push, their premier fundraising event of the year to Walton Hall. The route will take participants around the outskirts of the DAD event site.

Sixteen members of the HELIOS II Project visit DAD as part of their visit to the UK. Including delegates from Austria, Denmark, Italy, France, Germany, Scotland, Belgium and Sweden.

The increased number of visitors created major tailbacks of traffic on the A56; the Police warned us that we would need to review our arrangements for next year's event.
