Mat; I can only tell you those I can remember and be certain of .
As you entered the hall (From the cafe end ) half way down the right hand side was Craig barber ( Williams Cacti ) wearing a blue Williams cacti sweat shirt, next after the side door was Elizabeth Maddocks then in the corner still on that side was Croston Cacti ( John Henshaw ) Then across the back of the hall was the Manchester Branch sales tables with John Foley ,myself and my wife Joan and next in the corner was Martin Lowry next to him down the other side was Carlos from Woodside cacti and finally on that side was Ralph from the Cactusshop .
In the middle of the room were many many tables of which only Ralph Martins table with Rebutia and Aylostera sticks in the mind .
Sorry but thats all I can remember we were so busy I never got chance to walk round myself.

Thank you, that's already quite useful! I can add The Majestic Roots I think just before Williams Cacti on the right side of the hall and opposite them Ian Armstrong.

I am wondering who the two gentlemen were with a stall with many bagged segments of Maihueniopsis and similar genera, as I got some.

Royston Hughes had the Maihueniopsis. The stall with Martin Lowry on was filled with plants from Maurice Williams' collection.

Indeed it was him, confirmed thanks to photographs in another thread on the forum.
