Traders at Salute 2011

Rather than post a hugely long list, I have added a blog page to the menu bar at the top for the traders at Salute 2011. I have now gone through all the web addresses, but there are still a few with no web address listed. If you know the right address and can save me the research, add a comment to this post and I will fix it ASAP.

Cheers!
