Melbourne T& WWW Show 18-19-20 October 2013
Well, it is approaching the time of the year again for the original, biggest and best show - Melbourne!
This year is the 25th Anniversary of the Working With Wood Show * in Melbourne.
*original name. Changed a year later to Timber & Working With Wood Show
As usual, we are looking for people who would like to help man the stand and assist.
Greg (Groggy) will be organising the stand again this year and has put up a schedule for shifts. Get in early and get the shift of your choice and, of course, free entry to the show!
Ideally, we would like two hour blocks to be filled as it makes scheduling easier. Typically, you turn up at a pre-arranged time or call on arrival, someone will 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; this is the best way to do it.
------------------------------------------------------------------
WHEN: 18-19-21 October 2013
WHERE: Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre
TIME: Friday & Saturday: 10am - 5pm, Sunday: 10am - 4pm
ADMISSION (Same price as last year!):
Adult $16,

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Ok, the list is updated. For those who gave me some leeway - I took it - so you'd better check and let me know if you can be there.
The list may take a little time to update but should be showing after 1200hrs EST.

We have two people on the stand at all times. The reserve is anyone who may be available to fill in if we have a no-show.
