Why not consider an independant (breakaway) Expo for Victoria? why does the existing Expo have to move state to state at all?
No doubt it will be locked into the Qld Museum forever huh?
There's plenty of local dealers (who all still speak with eachother), so a mass of pins could be assembled under 1 roof for a weekend of gameplay, swapmeet, BBQ/canteen facilities and NO AUCTION !!
Dealers can have stalls, sell parts, and the public can hire tables and sell off their bits.....
100+pins to play, and 100+ people flogging their wares would be something to see....
Make the event a place where the public would want to come to..... just my 2c.
MM.
BRING IT ON!
Surely the Melbourne traders can get along for one day (not pointing any fingers at anyone, I know most do), they must be able to see the big picture, in geting advertisement for their industry, selling pins and parts at the expo, all coming down to making money. It's not rocket science.
In exchange for this we get to go to an event, meet up with like minded pinheads, and enjoy (and possibly buy) lots of pins and parts all in the one venue.
Win, Win
