Thanks Neil and others for the sensible and positive comments! To Scott like Doug on the other thread seems like nothing we can do to please you - so over and out!! Now fully understand why the...

Doug you obviously have a lot of time on your hands and enjoy complaining...... suffice to say many of your comments are not worth responding to I am busy running shows for people who appreciate and...

Jim I said all exhibitors who were booked in - you were not booked and in fact you told us last year it was not your intention to do the shows
this year - 2 reasons why you were not called. I...

Hi Guys I do get it...............shame some of you don't. We have provided space on the floor for the forum, up until recently paid for furnishing, walls, catering and gave you a discount to...

Jim you haven't been at any of the shows this year! I can assure you all these decisions are not made lightly, and EVERYONE is considered in all aspects! It doesn't seem what we do in Melbourne it...

forgot to say that we had indeed called our exhibitors who are currently booked into both Canberra and Melbourne............we do actually extend courtesy and have always believed in extending...

Sorry to hear that U Beaut and Jim Carroll aren't going to be supporting the Melbourne Show. Sadly Jim or Neil have not exhibited this year at any of the Shows. We continue to support the forum...

Thanks Big Shed, we do use Internet Explorer so will take your advice and switch. Look forward to seeing you at the show Liz

We are only days out from the opening and the nerves and sleepless nights have kicked in.

The change of venue and presenting a show of this size and the huge outlay of funds it requires is nerve...

There are many comments, suggestions that I have to answer, and apologies for being off the scene, at no time was it ever meant that I was disinterested in comments made through the forum rather for...

Steve
i think i answered you by email this morning. We would love to go back to Adelaide however understandably at this time we don't have the exhibitor support - we tried 3 years ago, exhibitors...

Crowie; shivers I forgot to say we endeavour to get radio interviews on the 'stars' of the show and usually we do succeed - however this is unpaid and always up to the station whether radio or...

Crowie Thanks for the comment. We do invite major tool companies etc - its not in our interest not too have them there. Last year to the Melbourne Show we introduced for the first time VEK Tools...

Hi Everyone I am going to be watching this with true interest. I am more than happy for suggestions for improvement. I remember when we took the shows over Neil gave me reams of paper to read with...

Further to Neil's informative post, this is further car parking details that we have.


We have now spoken to Wilson Parking who have told us as the show is once a year Wilson Parking will not...

Doug
i really didn't know what you were on about when you were asking for the trailer costs as like others i thought why not a phone call (all of the details were posted) - however in your last post...

Just thought i would let you know that we have a new link to the Timber Shows TWWW if you use this link it will take you straight to the Timber page, and then you can select which show you want...

issatree - me again i have just been told that i didn't read your posts correctly - the understanding is that you wanted to put your flyers in different places around the show rather than on the...

No worries about timing of the announcement issatree - I understand and thanks for the reply. I am not sure what happened about your flyers - as you know we support the clubs at all of our shows,...

Thanks Guys for the further comment……………..yep I may have over reacted a tad; but honestly major decisions such as this one to move venue are not made lightly as I am sure you can appreciate. I am...

No we are not joking!! I can't believe you all - cast your memory back to the comments when we were at the showground - in fact just after the last show how many people said they thought it would...

I see this thread was started last week - I have been on site at one of our other shows so apologies for the delay in response. It's amazing not sure any of you realise just how much energy, time...

Robbygard

Hi Guys, been watching the comments and wanted to wait until we had everything confirmed, before replying. Sydney Timber has moved not only dates but venue as well. The show is off to Olympic Park,...

Hi Everyone, I have been absent from the forum for a while and didn't want to come on until we had something to say - if you get my drift!! Really glad to see you have received our newsletter about...

Just wanted everyone to know that all of the comments re parking, catering and especially the disabled parking treatment will be sent to the Melbourne Showground Managment. All suggestions and...

It's nearly 11.30, Sunday and just had a few minutes to read the comments - certainly take up the suggestion of having reference numbers for the public - tick that off it will be done for next year. ...

Heh now you have made my day!! Liz

Groggy thanks for the review of the show - really glad Friday is over - we honestly didn't know which way to turn. However sense has reigned and we had a long meeting with the Showground Management...

Craig
I think I have really said enough on the subject of the Canberra Show - if I have indicated that we are making huge profits out of this show then I have got the wrong message across - we are...

Sorry I haven't got back to answer the last comments - in all truthfulness I decided to think about my response to you. I did feel I had answered some of the comments re the previous post.
...

sorry you felt the way you did about the show - you have visited the Canberra show not the Sydney or Melbourne Shows whereby the larger exhibitors you mention go to at and are supported by the...

thanks everyone for the comments - all feeling very tired today, but really glad the show went as well as it did considering the wind rain and cold. Have to replace all of our outside signage as it...
