Thread: Melb show

Hey Ern!
Anything of note we should look-up? or is it the ususal suspects,. I will visit on Sunday.

Hi Russell,

Special post for woodturners ;-}

Ern, is it at the Melbourne Showgrounds at Flemington? If so there is a pdf map of the site, unfortunately it does not list the exhibitors.

Thanks Pat.

Added: yep, at the Showgrounds.

Neil posted a map (and program?) elsewhere.

FWIW the organisers said they'd have them tomorrow .. Sat.

GJ got a free ticket on the basis of a complaint today. So if they don't have 'em tomorrow, rip into 'em.

I heard you were there Ern, but didn't see you .

Had a ball today and met up with a heap of forumites from Melbourne and Tasmania. Got to spread the forum word around to quite a few people. I was also surprised to meet heaps of people that admitted to lurking for years - I have to ask myself why would you do that , why not just join?

Anyway, great to catch up again, catch you local guys and gals next trip down or when you next come up.

Cheers

I saw a program late this arvo, so they must have finally arrived from the printers

Other than Neil's, there is also a copy here

Same here as well, love the new venue , better parking, access and neat building with plenty of room.

At the drinks and nibbles after close of day today the organisers said they realised that there is a few kinks here and there but they are working on it and will put what they learn this year into improving it for next year

Oh and yeah, spent way tooooooo muuuccchhhhh money

Someone take pity on the uni kid with exams and post some pictures :P Stupid monash

They were handing out the program when I was leaving, although it listed the stall numbers and holders it did not have a map showing the location of the stalls.

Not a problem for me as I found the stands that I wanted to buy my goodies at were easy to find.

Took the tram and train this morning and it was easy enough to get to, less walking to then when it was at the Exhibition centre so the new location is better.

Great to catch up with quite a few (in particular Brendan the sausage man ) but I had to leave early as I had run out of money and had to change the brake pads on my car when I got home.

Yep, classic first day overspeed

I really wanted to go to the show and purchase lots of good stuff for my new workshop (cupboard?). I no longer drive and the Minister for Transport is working behind the scenes at the Maffra show this weekend which ruled out a visit to the show.

So yes, let's see photos of all the forumites and other spectacles please! Do you all wear a red carnation or walk around carrying a rolled-up newspaper, or how do you all identify each other?

All wear our Forum shirts and/or caps.

It was good to catch up again with many others on the Forum stand - it was pleasure to help out spreading the word.

I also had a good day - did not spend a lot - and will be back this afternoon.
