Previously GGREC, SARCNET, VK3RTV<br>and FAMPARC have exhibited at the show.<br><br>It's not ONLY Model Railways, the show includes Remote Control hobbies<br>like Cars, trucks, drifters, planes & boats as well as having art &<br>craft section, computer & home automation and electronics related<br>aswell. Exhibits are spread across multiple rooms across two levels,<br>both inside and outside (both open and undercover).<br><br>There are Amateur radio hobbyists involved in the running of the show<br>being myself Dave VK3LDR and Richard VK3VRS. Richard is really the<br>overall manager whilst I assist with Website and some of the radio<br>hobby aspects and general duties during the show itself. You can see<br>some further information at www.trainandhobbyshow.com.au and<br>https://www.facebook.com/trainandhobby.<br><br>The show runs over the weekend with a couple of days prior to setup. I<br>think this would be an ideal setting to promote the hobby with<br>thousands of people coming through over the weekend. It would<br>bereally good for our hobby generally for us to put on displays<br>showcasing what the hobby has to offer & interactive items as well.<br><br>If you want further information about the show generally feel free to<br>contact me via email or phone on 0439-037-203 (If you decide to call,<br>you will probably have to leave a voicemail as I screen calls thanks<br>to the volume of SPAM calls that go around these days)<br><br>If you're a previous exhibitor or someone who's keen to get involved,<br>please register via<br>https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdaG3XwxLtFHHEEqW5t6mpi-n9q3QaEUjHyG-txbP4wgBA9MQ/viewform?usp=sf_link<br><br>73,<br>Dave<br>VK3LDR</p></blockquote><p><br></p><div class="io-ox-signature"><p>Regards,</p><p>Phill Simpson<br>WICEN Vic.<br>VK3FDAA/VK3PGS<br>State Secretary<br>Southwest/Barwon Region Coordinator<br>North West/LoddonMallee Region Coordinator<br>0408056782<br><a href="mailto:vk3fdaa@outbackrestorations.com.au"><span style="color: #00a0cd;">vk3fdaa@outbackrestorations.com.au</span></a><br></p></div></body></html>
