Thread: Awtex 17 entries

Now if they had a category for "The Cats New Bowl" or "Firewood" I'd be on a winner!

No info on F.B. site ?
I did enter some pieces (will start another thread) ,
But I had to wait till I got my entries back to find out
which one, s won !
Anyhoo ! Where are the other entries ....come on guys !
Let us all see what you did !

Welcome to being an entrant who can't attend the venue as it would be nice to receive information on winners and placings while the event is on.

Yes it is an issue that affects non-attending entrants and requires a solution but as the event is run totally by volunteers it is another demand upon their limited time and resources. I think they do an extraordinary job now with such a well presented exhibition.

Hi moby, unfortunately work commitments stop me from attending
such events , (I only wish I could be there ) .....
I certainly wasn, t knocking what the organizers do !
I think they all do an excellent job , just not much Info
after the event , I received my entries back with one
piece missing , It turned out it had sold !!........ I received
a cheque on friday ! Very surprised

I agree it would be good for the entrants that are interstate could get there resuls straight away but there is a lot of work to be done after the judging is complete. I am sure the committee would take it on board.
Cheers Mick

The competition results are available on AWTEX website when the show opens showing the name of the winners and their exhibit number.

Whilst this gives some indication it would be better if a copy of the catalogue was posted as well on the website like it was done for 2016. Posting the catalogue could be done soon after the entries close well prior to the exhibition.

Then a quick perusal of both would give those not available to attend their results immediately.

If the committee had time i am sure it could be sorted. I helped with the pack up after the event that took until about 9pm on the sunday . They really need a few more volunteers during the setting up and over the weekend of the exhibition. Maybe there are a few of you guys out that could donate some time .??

Peter, can you post a link to the results please. I can't find them on this site - The Australian Woodturning Exhibition I'm sure its just me having a seniors moment.

Gday when you go to the awtex site obove where it says type your search is a box with a few lines click on that then scroll down to results then down load it is an excell spread sheet.
Cheers Mick

On the website go to the drop down box "Getting turning for 2017" and then to the last item is the 2017 results. As Mick said it's an Excel spreadsheet.

This was on the website prior to the show opening and all it needed as well was a catalogue posted on the site, similar to last year. I know that the committee has the printed catalogue at least a week prior to the show so posting it on the website ought not to be a major problem.

That would solve everyone's desire to know their results.

Peter.
