Like Larry said, we do some shows that pay us to be there, not all of the events
we do pay money. We do try to keep a balance of about half and half. In the U.S.
we have some major shows that move around the country, the biggest being GATS
and then there are other more regional ones such as Greenberg. These kind of
shows charge people to attend and in return pay clubs to exhibit.
