Thread: Sydney Show - First Timer

One of the things that you will notice is that people will have different opinions on why they go to a wood working show.

My current reasons for attending are a little different to when I originally went to the show. I think it will be beneficial if I wrote this in terms of my original thoughts of why I went.

I was curious.

This was the main reason for attending the wood show. I only attended for one day and then only for part of that day. The following year(or the year after that) I decided to attend for all three days and I think I was counting down the months and days.

Normally the Friday morning is when the school kids are also attending the show and it can be a little crowded. But this sort of tapers off after lunch when most of the school kids have to be back on the bus. It would be at this time that you are able to stroll around a little bit slower.

For me one of the nicest things that I find is being able to chat to people, weather that is to demonstrators, retailers or like minded individually and all this in one location.

Not the best reply that I can give as it can be a little different for everyone when they attend the wood show for the first time.

What you eventually decide have fun attending.

Be aware be vary aware it can be intoxicating drag you to depths of depravity never known before. Making new friends, make sure to visit the Forum stand or even take part and sign up for an hour and meet some top blokes oh and Christos as well.

Yes David, If you coming on Friday come early to the forum stand and then after some looking around you can decide if you need a second day to sit and watch some demo or have an in depth discussion with a vendor....and visit the forum stand again to met some like minded enthusiastic woodie's.... cheers, crowie
