If you woke up Wednesday morning with a poncho, sombrero and one cracking headache, chances are you went to this year’s Toymaster show.

Yes, the Toymaster team once again proved the value of ‘networking’ as retailers from across the UK gathered for the annual party, where this year’s key word was ‘Tequila’ – to quote an excitable Ian Edmunds.

Of course, there was work to be done, too. Luckily, ToyNews was on hand to document the event.
