If at all possible it would be better to handle some kit before the show, using the equipment is the only way of finding out if it suits you or not, you won't get the chance to try the kit at the show, most of the stuff is bloody bubble packed nowadays anyway.
Also I wouldn't hold your breath for real deals at the show, dealers attending a show have incurred extra overheads in setting up there and need to recoup those costs before they make any money.

Good to know that you have no problems with Lee stuff too.
Good places to buy Lee gear??
You could try Andy Allwood in Bracknel (as you are in Reading?).
He keeps most of the Lee stuff in stock, and has been known to teach newbies the basics if you buy from him.

Oh great job!
I'll give him a call! See if he'll take me under his wing.

Personally I would put the £98.50 to wards buying a good single station press and forget about the rest of it.
I am not a fan of Lee reloading equipment but that's just my personnel opinion.
My advice is to buy the best equipment you can afford buy a good quality single station press first. Then buy the best beam scale you can afford do not touch the Lee scale with a barge pole. Then buy the rest of the stuff as and when you can afford it.
Ask around you might be able to pick up second hand stuff.
I wasted a lot of money along the way on reloading gear including Lee stuff. But its up to you my friend its your money.

Lots to think about when you start to reload or buy the gear at least!
