| |  Sydney Working With Wood Show
Hey everyone,
Sydney show is looking like its going to be on the move this year due to venues rising costs at moore park, what would be everyones feedback of a move to a new venue. We have supported the show for the last 5 years as Major Sponsors with the Barrow of tools giveaway & think a new venue would be good for a revived show, im hopping everyone under one roof so the atmosphere is more electric.....whats your thoughts |

If a move means lower costs and more vendors I don't see a problem. Olympic park would be good if their rates are more competitive.

Another vote for Olympic Park from me. Much more central.

Home bush would be a good location, but would it be good as a facility? The parking is a walk from any of the pavilions, it would be a PITA with two arms full of goodies. This is workable though. A longer walk means more people would use the parcel pickup - this would need to handle the additional load and cars.
Penrith Panthers hold shows throughout the year, I think these are in large marques though?
I like January - it means June and the wood show are coming! |

| | Advertisment Req 1 Big shed 3 days
Exhibition floor space where tools etc are shown: 3,100 square metres Horden Pavillion
Exhibition floor space where groups and demos are done: 5,400 square metres Royal Hall of Industries
So where in Sydney is there a darn big shed with 8,500 to 9,000 sqm of floor space with plenty parking. Where would be an industrial site big enough surely some one has an empty shed/workshop/factory/acrerage
Or even a darn big school hall.
Flemington Markets plenty access from nth, sth, east & west, plenty parking, plenty food one big hall.

Funny isn't it they'll walk that and further Race days  Maybe they have become so soft and frail gee even in the wheelchair I have pushed around paddocks to see stuff at shows especially country style.
