Melbourne Model Engineering Exhibition 2014

[AussieJimG]

The Model Engineering Exhibition is in Melbourne this year: http://www.onlymelbourne.com.au/melbourne_details.php?id=15862#.U30iPvmSwXw

There seems to be some interest in having a venue for HMEM and MEM folk to meet. Reg and I are going and Gus (The Happy Fisherman) says he might come down.

I am thinking about having a MEM table where we can display some models and which would serve as a focal point for meeting.

What do you think?

I've been threatening to attend that for quite a few years now - might have to scrape some pennies together and make this the year!

[AussieJimG]

I have sent off an entry form so we will see what happens.

Can anybody recommend somewhere to stay down there?

Jim

[tel]

Do they have a Mathew Talbot's down in Mel-bun?

[ths]

Probably, but you'll have to save up.

[zeeprogrammer]

That would make a MEM presence at what?...3 shows now? Cabin Fever, the UK, Melbourne.
Truly 'A Global Community'.
Maybe there's a way to make that more pronounced at a show.
Pictures of other shows with the MEM banner in the background?
Shipping engines around probably wouldn't work well. Risky too.
A binder maybe? With pictures of members' projects?
Sorted by location? Maybe random instead.

Not a simple project really. It would take some time (which I don't have yet).

Just thinking.

Enjoy the show Jim and others. Tel...you don't need pennies. You've got a thumb.

I will be going but will probably not have anything to display.

I think it would be neat if we could send the banner from show to show and have it marked some way to show where all it's been. Just an idea.

That's a really neat idea Whiskey, it is nice to see that you are still lurking and thinking.

Now all I have to do is to get an entry form in; my last email was rejected. Perhaps it's some inter-state rivalry.

Well I hope you guys are having fun and all goes well and please please lease post some photos.

Are there any Exhibitions planned for Sydney region???

[AussieJimG]

No worries Ginger Nut, it doesn't happen until 4 October -  2 months away.

You have plenty of time to save your lunch money and get organised.

Everything's compressed in NSW.

Not too worry. As we get older time does seem to fly past way to quick. I imagine that jet lag doesn't help.

Glad to hear that you and SWMBO had a good trip to the US.

Cheers
