I guess that is the plan. I like the way they have set it up so those that come from interstate can make the most of the whole weekend with the Expo one day and the VHS meeting the next.

Definitely not one to be missed!!

So Baz did you make years back to the VHS meeting when they brought out Dave Barker? It was on a hot Saturday night with a BBQ on the Maribinong (sp??) River the next day. That was a weekend to remember. If Maxwell is half as good no one will be disappointed but indications are that he may be even better!


I think about 400 to 500 people attended the Barker VHS meeting. I wonder if they will top that this time around.

The expo is touted as a "National" event and everyone is welcome.

... and all are welcome to attend VHS meetings but there is usually nominal a door charge for non members to cover expenses including pizza and other refreshments. There is not charge for members.

The VHS has members from all over the world.

If you are traveling from interstate or further afield you may wish to consider joining up as you will recoup much of your subscription on this particular weekend alone.

Thumbs up

Instead of the usual 'evening VHS meeting' this meeting will be held in the early afternoon on Sunday which may help with any interstaters not miss Greg's talk if they have to go to work the following day!
