East Midlands Woodworking show

[Peter Sefton]

Sorry to report the Newark show which was scheduled for March has now been cancelled, fingers crossed for Harrogate in November.

Cheers

I saw the title Peter and I thought oh that would be good – I don’t think I’ve ever been to one ha ha.
So that is a bit of a blow. Cheers

oh I thought it might be going ahead this time...what a pity

I think the uncertainty of Omicron put pay to it, it would have been good to get out and see customers again.

oh botheration, dang nabbit. Just MOT'd and taxed the car for nothing

 

[fezman]

Don't talk about cars.

£950 today for a major service (Lexus) , MOT and replacement brakes . Well there goes my drum sander fund :-(

Bad news about Newark, bought my first Woodriver 5 1/2 from Peter at that show - best tool I own.

Hopefully we will be able to get Harrogate in November. Probably need 4 jabs for that!

I really hope the harrogate one is on this year, I really regret not going to the one in 2019 if only I'd have known what was coming...

 

[Padster]

That’s a real shame, would be great if folks can post details of any shows that are going ahead…
Maybe we should have an events thread?

No mention as yet on the exhibition website, so I guess the news comes from those ‘of the inside track’ but seems not to have yet been published:

I believe Makers Central is still going ahead this year.

 

[Peter Sefton]

As exhibitors we were informed yesterday but I wanted to pass on the information as I know people may be making hotel bookings etc.

Makers Central and Harrogate are still scheduled to go ahead so fingers crossed everything goes to plan and life goes back to normal, we are planning to exhibit at both as usual.

Cheers

Thanks Peter for letting us know for me that is a real shame, Newark is a 200 mile round trip for me but in the past it has been one of the highlights of my year but this must now be the 3rd year that it has been cancelled, Harrogate is a bit to far for me.

If Harrogate goes ahead perhaps when / if we attend we should all wear something that identifies us as being from this forum and then say hello in the real world.

I'm looking forward to attending the Harrogate show if it happens and air travel is allowed.

I suggest you all carry a Wood Workers Workshop bag budging with goodies

Hmmm, I think I can see your logic, but wouldn’t everyone want one? I presume these are freebies!

The bags have always very popular and will continue to be free this year

Mike as per my post, could we create a thread for events and make it a sticky so it’s easy to access and reference?

We had one in the past but I think it died over the pandemic, would be good to start again if possible.

If someone will start a new thread, I'll sticky it.
