Please note, there will be no live fire opportunity within the day, this is for a visual and descriptive demonstration only. Lunch (12:15 - 13:00). Lunch will be available in the staff canteen for those wishing to take it. ### Breakout sessions. (13:00 - 15:00) \* Each supplier will be given a 15 minute slot (if needed) where they can show any product not yet commercially available.
