Melbourne W.W.W. Show 19-21 October 2012
Well, it is approaching the time of the year for the biggest and best show - Melbourne!
As usual, I will be looking for people who would like to man the stand and assist me.
I have put up on my website the schedule for shifts over the three days. Get in early and get the shift of your choice and, of course, free entry to the show!
Ideally, I like two hour blocks to be filled as it makes scheduling easier. Typically, you turn up at a pre-arranged time or call me on arrival, I then come out with your ticket. A phone number will be provided to volunteers before the event.
Over previous years most volunteers have found it a good way to catch their breath and meet a bunch of other forumites. Members will often attend the stand on a few days and really take the time to see the show and all the displays and demonstrations; in my view, this is the best way to do it.

Greg
I'm in for Friday say 10am -12noon but happy to shift if others want that slot.
Will also be available for either Sat or Sunday when I sort out other things.

Thanks Tom. I have already spoken to Doug3030 and am waiting for him to confirm his times. Other than that I'll book you in where you wish. Thanks for helping (again)

I will take Friday from 4:00 to 5:00 and sunday from 10:00 to 11:00
I would also be available as a fill-in on Friday and Sunday if things get busy or someone does not turn up. I will be at the show all Friday and till about 2:00 on Sunday. I can come early on Friday, Greg, if you need a hand to finalise setup.
thanks
Doug

what do I need to do? Or am I better to come this year and look and volunteer next year when I know what happening

All we do is talk to the general public about what the forums have to offer and let them know how to find us. It is a very relaxed atmosphere just letting other woodies know we are here as a free resource. Every now and again we show them on the computer.

Volunteer on the stand. It's easy and very rewarding. All you need to do is say hello and hand out flyers and if they show interest explain about the forum.
As what we offer is free I always found most people receptive to the forum and are willing to chat.
Peter.
