So Collette the 2 Richards will be doing the same as they have always done. No change there.

Should be interseting to see Ken Wraight with his demo, new fresh face for most people.

Good to hear from you Jim, I’m heading down your way to Pt Lonsdale over the weekend!
Re the seminars I can't imagine Richard Raffan not turning bowls and boxes - that would start a mini-revolution! You might not remember Richard Raffan not turning bowls and boxes - that would start a mini-revolution! You might not remember Richard Vaughan’s old seminars on glues, cabinet scrapers & making a router table. Well they’ve all been changed and Richard Vaughan has 3 new topics, plus a router demo & clinic at the Expo.
Can’t wait to see both Richard’s in action! Plus on a different topic am very keen to try my hands at building a WWII Army AM Radio.
Cheers

Hello Collette,

The list you have provided for United tools are in fact companies and they are WHOLESALE companies who do not sell direct to the public. Some of these name are also brands. I believe that the individual companies will NOT be present on the united stand. Their products will be represented on the total stand by many salesman trying to off load product.

Please state the facts. Australians are sick of being led up the garden parth.

Hi Woody

A range of companies have subcontracted a stand within the overall area booked by C&L United Tools. You're right that companies are wholesale manufacturers or importers and as such they do not sell direct which is why they will be putting all sales through their retailer C&L United Tools.

Show visitors will be able to get expert advice from the manufacturers and importers own staff who man the subcontracted stands while the sales will be made by C&L United Tools. You get both expert advice from the people in the know and the chance to buy products at great prices through C&L United Tools!

So what are you guys not telling us? Five days till the show and still no floor plan. Could it be there are a lot less exhibitors than you are telling us? If not why is there still no floorplan showing the exhibitors and where to find them?

You said it would be on your website a week ago but to date, nothing.

All I get from that link http://www.handsonexpo.com.au/assets...n_brisbane.pdf is a notice saying "This file is damaged and could not be repaired."

Anyone else having the same problem or is it just me?

Looks like it's a lot of the same old thing!
Take out the quarter of the pavillion for C&L a hardware store, another quarter for Carbatec and another quarter for Jet,Gregories and Timbecon. Then remove all the NON woodworking related stands and Guess what. You are left with NOT MUCH!

Enjoy the show! I know I will be enjoying myself elsewhere!!!

DL,
Try updating your version of Adobe, I'm guessing that you are running an earlier version, just checked with Adobe Acrobat 5.0.5 which I keep for various reasons and get the same error message as you. It opens fine in version 9.

... or download and run Foxit. It has a tiny footprint on your computer compared to Adobe's software. It's free as well.
