Hi everybody, boy what a show we

have just put on. This letter is going

to be all about the show; a look at

pros, cons, and thank yous. Let’s do thank yous first and the first of

course is to Len, this was the 29th

annual show and Len has run 19 of

them, nothing fazes him, never a

panic, he just gets on and gets it

done. Thanks Len for another job

very well done. Thanks to Chris,

Chris puts in a big effort at show

time. He not only does as much as

everyone else in setting up and

packing up, but he does a huge job

behind the scenes, counting,

balancing, allocating, and reporting

on the money, that work goes on

well after everyone else has

finished. Thanks Chris. A big thanks

to all members that helped out, I could

not go and name you all, that would

make this letter go on into next month.

However, I would like to thank you all

very much without your help this, the

“biggest show of its type in country

Vic.” just would not go on. Thanks to

all the exhibitors, without you all we

would not have a show, you add such a

wide diverse flavor to the show thank

you.

To the pros and there are many of

these. First the venue, it was just spot

on, it seemed to have a better

atmosphere and it was the first time

we have used it, the feedback was

great, it’s a winner. Time of year; I

think we had enough positive vibe to

say that the change has worked well.

Catering; although at the time of

writing this I have no figures on its

success, just to have the ability to

raise more revenue with a small

number of members has to be a big

positive. The hub was another

winner; the feedback I got was

fantastic - from schools, the public,

exhibitors, and

This month a new member has

joined the club. Bronwyn Cairns

has come along to several sessions

already and her starting project has

been using old coloured pencils to

make some interesting new pieces

with Olive Wood.

Bronwyn grew up in Girgarre on a

dairy farm. She always had an

interest in fashion and studied at

RMIT. Pursuing this career

allowed her to work as a Production

Manager and Designer at

Canterbury and a surf label. She

lived in Queensland for the last 16

years teaching in the fashion

industry, overall working in the

area for 25 years.

More recently, Bronwyn has

moved back to GV to be closer to

Prez’s Turn Cont. >>>

Roll Up, Roll Up, What a Show! exhibitors, and some of our own club

members. Possibly the best though

was the general feedback on the show

as a whole, we had people giving all

sorts of praise, “the best show I have

been to”, “this is better than the

Melbourne show”, and so on, but the

best for me was on Saturday night

when Denise and I called into a

supermarket on the way home, a

stranger came up to us and

congratulated us on a great show with much excitement. When we have put

in so much work, to make some big

changes to the show, getting such

great positive feedback is fantastic, it

makes you feel that all the work was

worth it.

To the negatives and they are not big

just some adjustments; maybe the entry should be at the north end of the

building, the office down near the

shelving, more signage. But the one

negative for me was the PA system; I

had people over the two days keep

saying to me that it was not working

in the west building (the older

building). It took me a day and a half

to work out that someone kept

turning it down. I understand if it is

in your ear all day it can be a problem

but please if there is a problem come

and talk to me. If I had known on the

first day we may have been able to

shift it up higher that first night. Now

we need to make changes next year

and we do not know if they will work

or not. As it was, a lot of things were

not announced in the older building.

At our next general meeting, we will

spend time on getting your feedback

on the show. We will then put it into

a big melting pot and come up with

bigger and better plans for our 30th

show.

Just before I close off it is our 30th

show next year and we need to

celebrate this, so come with your

ideas. My thinking is a dinner on the

Saturday night, if we do we will be

looking for a member to take on the

organizing of it. I know it is a year

away but that is only 10 meetings!

Put your ideas down and bring them

to the meeting.

Keep the chips flying.

Bob

her mum and has taken a job as a

VCAL teacher at Go TAFE. She

joined the club to upgrade her

knowledge of woodworking to help

support her students and as a hobby

for herself.

Thanks for the interview Bronwyn.

We look forward to seeing you

around the club.
