STILL TO ESTABLISH
* Who CMA were, and whether the exhibition ran in more than one year. The
  wiki previously recorded a 1993 exhibition, which may be a separate event or
  may be a misdating of this one.
* 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.
