Liz, do you have a discreet website for the new management of the www&t shows or is it the old one?
It may also be better if you could start a separate thread, with a moderator's help. (There I go again, giving mods more work )
Like a lot of us I have been attending the shows for a few years, enough to notice the downward spiral of quantity & quality of exhibitors (eg Magic Pillows and some Mop, either have nothing to do with woodwrecking) and the ever increasing cost of admission and food within the show area. What is being done to balance the equation. eg Lower cost of exhibtors area to entice the larger ones to risk the show.
I realise that you may not have any influence on the pricing of and quality of the food outlets within the show precinct, but the quality for the price is not there and I am one to eat almost anythingPat

Pat
our website address is www.eee.net.au - on it you will find we do a number of shows. Re your suggestion of the seperate thread will investigate that.
On the matter of the 'other' exhibitors - yep we do get comment about some of the different products. We will endeavour to keep the products to like products for timber. Many visitors love to be able to buy a bargain and many of these exhibitors provide that something that they can carry home.
Re costs - the admission cost will reamin the same (there is of course the forum special admission price) as it has for the past two years.
We are working with every venue to try and ensure we have a selection of food - rather than let them (the venues) choose what they are going to serve.
Hope I have answered all questions - if not let me know. Regards Liz

Liz its obvious you are trying otherwise you wouldn't be here on the forum for starters top idea.
I agree about seating these old blokes just need a place to park and chat.............me I take my own at least if they are seated I won't end up with a stiff neck from looking up especially at Wongo.
I see already via a H&Forbes e-mail they will be at this years show
My first show was 2005 and we/I found it very cramped for moving between isles as did those who ended up with handle bars in tender places.
Getting in and around the vendors sites can often leave me frustrated no room to move which then leads to abled's getting annoyed as I try backing out.

Last year I missed the show and I wasn't fuss about it. This year there is more interest in the show and I am looking foreward to it.

If you do a search on woodworking shows you will find a thread with hundreds of replies. That thread I collected and sorted then gave to Neil to pass on to the organisers. It was full of ideas (and complaints). I am pretty sure Neil passed it on.
