Thread: Melbourne Timber show only a week away!!

Looking like a excellent show.

Like the Lounge areas I think there's 4 of them and the massive catering area.

U-Beaut Polishes will be on Stand # 66 facing the catering area.
Woodwork Forums/Renovate Forum Members Lounge is on Stand # 67 and backs on to our stand. The lounge is a 6 x 3 mt area where members can meet, sit, relax, have a cuppa etc away from the crouds.

Entry is to members only. You must have a Forum Cap, T Shirt, or Forum ID card for either Woodwork Forums or Renovate Forum to gain entry to this lounge.

Forum Caps will be available for purchase on the U-Beaut Stand. Member ID cards can be got to via this link

More info as it comes to hand.

Cheers - Neil

I can only add to what Liz has said and noticed at the other shows that the seating areas are welcome and well used by all patrons.

If you see Liz or any of their crew over the weekend pass on your thanks and any other suggestions you may have because they do listen to all of us.

We also look forward to seeing you all there and please wear your forum ID cards as we dont know all your faces but do know most of the forum names.

We wont be hard to find we have Stand 48 on the right as you come in the hall. come in and say G'day.

Hi Liz, I had a look at the map and there's no mention of disabled parking. Can you tell me please where the disabled parking is? Thanks.

Just spoke to the Showgrounds and they have told me that disabled parking is in The Carnival Car Park. Go to gate 1 on Epsom Road and tell the parking attendant you require disabled parking and they will ensure they park you as close as possible to the venue. Hope this helps Liz

Thanks Liz!

I spent the afternoon at the show setting up and it looks pretty good so far. I found Neil, Pauline, Jim and Irene giving the Forum members' lounge a road test and trying out the sound-proofing (which was working until Neil spoke ). The stands look a bit larger than last year and there is plenty of walking room in the aisles.

The Forum display stand is opposite the Festool stand. Overhead are some very large exhaust fans, if the 6th fan from the narrow end of the building fell it would land on the forum display .

Neil's stand is about 20m away, past the Festool stand. Jim Carroll has a great spot where the forum stand was last year. He is against the wall and has a large frontage for his displays. The Forum Members' Lounge backs onto Neil's display.

The admin this year seemed pretty smooth and painless and the stand was ready to go with power and lights when I got there. Neil has arranged some silk print banners for the forums (please do not point out the typos unless you really have a need to see him turn purple).

Overall it looks good, there is a large area for food stands and most of the usual companies are there.

I don't know how I will go staring at a Festool stand for three days, I don't think I am that strong

Don't forget, if you want a free entry then you can still volunteer to man the stand for an hour or so.

I hope to see you there

Yeah all sounds good Greg,looking forward to it all.

Gonna be a early start tomorrow ..airlines put us on an earlier flight so means leaving home pretty early to drive up to Perth ,upside we get into Melbourne that much earlier but stuffed in the bargain.

Glad to see it coming together for everyone.

Cheers

See you all on Friday, my flight is almost civilised tomorrow morning. doesn't leave until 8:45am.

Hope my two boys don't start partying at home in my absence.

John we will catch up on Friday to discuss timber sellers to visit.
