OK - so who got a bargain ????

I got a 7l cylinder for £90 (but had to carry the bugger back on the train), and have been invited to work on the Dive Girl stand for the next show......hehe.

Digger - you will get the cartridges from any gun shop.  Oh yeah, and you drink like a fish.

Oh aye, and Chris Denney said he would do me a Buddy crack bottle SMB for £65 (he just had the Ralf Tech gear on the stand).  BARGAIN.

I then had a look at their SMBs, and ended up buying a CO2 inflating backup SMB for emergencies. £26 including 3 of them little cartridges. Anyone got a good source for some more?

Other than that, my biggest spending was the booze on friday night and lunch at the show. Prices were just silly for food. Mental note to bring a picnic next year.

You could also try a gun shop as these cartridges are used in CO2 powered air weapons.
They do however sometimes contain a very small amount of lubricant designed to keep the valves inside the gun lubricated but this could be an advantage. You can also buy them online here.
