    Default Sydney Wood Show Volunteers

    I did my turns at the Sydney Wood show today and can say that this was a fantastic experience. I will admit that I was a little nervous at the start but once people came by and asked questions about the forum all that disappeared.
    I guess the times that I picked were a little out as first thing in the morning was a little quite and then again in the afternoon, last hour of the day.

    At least Saturday I am more in the middle of the day so could be better to chat and meet people. Saw some familiar faces and got some O it’s you looks. Yes you know who you are ……..

    I recon that most people that came to the forum stand were actually forum members, but then again we did get the odd person that did not hear about us.

    I am sure that I will say this again in another thread thank you Jeremy for organizing this.

    I was there , and I can prove it, I'm the fit looking bloke on the right in Pic7 (your sposed to tell me when taking a pic so I can suck the belly in and push the chest out).
    I was a tad nervous at the prospect but thoroughly enjoyed it and will be doing it again next year.
    Most of the people that stopped by were members and the lounge was well patronised by other exhibitors which was good as they were often interesting to talk to (some were all talked out and just wanted to relax).
    As I say, had a ball and would recommend it to anyone else who may have been keen but was a bit nervous at the prospect.
    While the schoolies are a PIA, it was good to see that we had some genuine interest from a few so the next generation has been locked in.

    I also enjoyed my spell on the stand yesterday. If it wasn't for the vagaries of public transport on a weekend, I'd would have put my name down for today as well.
    Have fun today and tomorrow.
