Hi All,

For the last few years, I have put together a post to detail some of the top conventions in the UK fitness calendar.  This post has proved to be so popular that I have decided to put together another one for some of the massive fitness events that are going on over the next 12 months.

As with last year, I will be attending a number of them so give me a shout if you will be too!
