Dunno Bill, probably related to my first post. 

Can somebody move it to 4/5 October please (that's a few months away).

I've just entered it for then Jim, but think I've made a hash of removing it from May - working this calendar is a rather convoluted business.

Thanks Tel, I don't think it will matter if it is still shown in May (nobody will go to it then) as long as it is shown in October.

Thank you Bill  :ThumbsUp: I wasn't the only one who saw that date then.

Jim I'll accept your apology then your statement, it is a good one I'll need to just hope Abbott and Hockey's budget doesn't go through me being on DSP.

We have a table set aside for us. The bloke organising the exhibition is in Tasmania with family matters at present but I have spoken to the President who assures me we are ok.

And it is still some (unspecified number of) months away.

I was going to do a post about it but you got there first. Monash Uni is a long way from a railway station and there are not many hotels close by. I could post a map to show where it is in the Uni grounds.

Thanks Airmodel, we do need to identify some accommodation in the vicinity or within easy reach and which also has facilities for we out of town folk to socialise (read: eat, drink and make memories).

Lennardhme over on HMEM has offered to scout around but it wouldn't hurt to have more eyes searching.

Thanks Steve, it looks pretty good to me at first glance, let's see what others think.

Steve has a good link, click onto it and then click onto the "Click here to view map". Move the map north until you see the main entrance of Monash uni and follow "ring road east" traveling north. Turn left on Union road until you see Engineering building 60 and that is where the show is. On that weekend there will be plenty of signs to direct you to the show. hope this helps.

Well guys, the bad news is that the Exhibition will not be held this year. The following is the message I received from the  organiser:

Hi Jim

As the grape vine says we have unfortunately had to cancel the exhibition this year.
We were recently informed that there will be considerable disruption to our exhibition venue at Monash University, Clayton, in October due to building works. The disruption extends to parking and vehicular access. We have tried to find an unbooked alternative location, but total hire costs made this an unviable alternative.
At the last meeting of the organising committee for the 2014 MSMEE Model Engineering Exhibition it was reluctantly decided that no exhibition will be held this year. After some 22 years of exhibition management we are dismayed at this outcome.
We appreciate that there was some interest in an exhibition  but the reality is that it is not practicable for our exhibition to be held this year. However our wish is that we will hold another one in two years’ time.
Regards
John
