That's because it's most definitely not a competition, as I know Joy will agree.There's more than enough "room" for Gladstone, Ipswich and whoever else is interested in putting these sorts of days to do so without the need to make it competitive. Congratulations on a great looking day Joy and co. Sorry we missed it.

Yep that's what I'm saying Kersten. To be saying one's better than the other is pretty counter-productive as both are clearly postive for the hobby.

Competition? OMG!!!!!!! Where do some people get their ideas from?:?:shock:
Kersten, thanks for your congratulations, and I totally agree with your comments. I'll be looking forward to catching up with you all at your Expo. I had an absolute blast last time and can't wait for next year.
Sssmithy, thanks heaps for posting those pics of our Festival. Your help over the last week or so has been greatly appreciated.
cheers

I hope everyone hasn't missed my point here. Quite clearly, I'm objecting to the notion that it's a competition between the two events. Ian was suggesting that one event may be better than the other and I was pointing out that any ideas of a 'competition' between the two is counter-productive.

definatly not a competition.i'd love it if there were 10 expos/festivals of this type in queensland.the more ,the better.the more education experienced herpers can give to newbies at these events the better it is for everyone.
the more of these events that happen may help in future softening of the strict queensland laws as well, so i'll be talking to Joy soon and try to get her legal paperwork so we can take it to our next meeting.hopefully it sets a precident.
both of the expos/festivals need support of everyone for them to keep on going.it takes alot of hoursof work and stress to get the events up and running.2 years ago people were complaining that there was no expos in queensland ,and now there is 2 ,yet people still bag them out. we all work our normal jobs while trying to organise these events,so if people keep supporting them ,they'll keep going.if not,they will stop.
negative comments on the internet does no good for these events,send a pm instead.
Joy has her rules in black and white that she went by and we had my rules in black and white that we went by,so if you didnt sit in on any of the meetings, you dont know the rules.we followed the rules we were given,now hopefully we can combine them and move forward to next years events.
great event Joy, nice work
cheers

No sales were allowed at the early Castle Hill (Sydney) expos but one of the major sponsors called the department's bluff and now sales are allowed. Probably they realised that driving sales into the carpark was stupid! Likewise no advertising or sales are allowed in NSW except at society functions but clearly websites opperate in contradiction to that law. Where there is a will there is a way.
Whilst all government departments contain the odd obstructive individual to say you cant sell anything is rediculous.Are you allowed to sell tea and coffee? What constitutes commercial?

would you kill your child for being diabled?
Funny how this "competition" talk has come up!!! I was at both the Gladstone Expo and the S+T Festival and I enjoyed both to a certain extent... I could not turn around and say one was better than the other.....
I would really like to see a lot more Herp related products being for sale at these events tho. I don't think the sale of animals is that good an idea but I can't see the reason why some suppliers of other goods can't sell their wares.

It is far better to sell animals publicly, up front than to have under the table carpark sales!
