This article is a stub built almost entirely from a single advertisement and from personal recollection. No published account of the exhibition has been found: it appears in no reference work, and there is no surviving coverage online. Anything below should be treated as unverified until a contemporary source is located.

STILL TO ESTABLISH

  • Who CMA were, and whether the exhibition ran in more than one year.
  • Attendance, size, and the range of exhibitors.
  • Whether Take That performed, as recalled by a contributor. They are known to
 have played gay venues early in their career, but by December 1994 they were
 among the biggest acts in Britain, so an appearance at a consumer exhibition
 would be notable and needs confirming.

WHERE TO LOOK Contemporary listings and reviews in Boyz, Gay Times, the Pink Paper and Capital Gay for November and December 1994; the Bishopsgate Institute and Hall-Carpenter Archives hold runs of these.
