    Default MELBOURNE T&WWWShow 2017 FORUM STAND


    I have been asked if we would like to have space saved for forum stand this year.

    I said give me a week and I'll see what sort of response I get from members.

    I will not be there for setup or bumpout as we are committed to other stuff this year as well as Down Under Turn Around (DUTA) which is also on the same 3 days as the Show.
    If we are to have a stand this year we would need someone who could pick up and drop off the display stuff from Geelong also need an organiser and members to man the stand over the 3 days of the show as well as set up the stand on the Thursday.

    Show dates are:

    Friday 8 to Sunday 10 September 2017
    10:00am to 4:00pm - Fri, Sat, Sun
    Caulfield Racecourse


    Setup preferably needs to be done on the Thursday.
    I need to know the feelings of members by Friday week 4th August

    Sorry for the rush job on this but don't want to have them hold the space for the forums if there is a possibility of them selling it to another exhibitor.

    Cheers - Neil

    If i were there could likely set up and coordinate but pickup and drop off may be an issue

    Neil,

    Given the number of exhibitors at the moment I think you can rest easy about holding up space for others.

    As much as I greatly value the forum and its camaraderie, if it were my decision I'm not sure I'd spend the money, time and effort for a stand.

    Stand is supplied by Impressive Exhibitions partly at their expense and partly as contra deal for their advertising on the forums. All we have to do is to man the stand.

    It is still early days yet with 6 weeks to go before the show and the list of exhibitors will most likely grow over the next 4-5 weeks as it usually does.

    Cheers - Neil

    Sorry Neil, I will not be attending the WWW Show this year. I have committed to the woodturning event at Phillip Island instead for a bit of a change of pace. See you there.

    Cheers

    I would be happy to do a stint on the stand if it goes ahead. Unsure which day I will be going as yet.

    Bump

    The lack of response to Neil's request has been overwhelming (not)

    OK looks like there will be no forums stand in Melbourne this year.

    Thank you to: DaveTTC, Pac Man, homey, doug3030, Chesand and Simplicity for responding to this thread but with lack of other responders I'm going to call it a no goer and pull the plug on this one.

    This will be the first time since the shows started that either I or the Forums haven't been represented at the Melbourne show.

    Ah well.


    Maybe next time.
    Cheers
