there is so much work to do to have a expo .. its not just a 10 minute thing , it will take months and months andtrying to get some poeple together ....
i wouldnt want the job and are not asking for it. I am sure others here have a much better idea on howe to do this
the guys that run the auction have the expo before it and thats fine let them have it , its their money as i said go to it enjoy it play pinball stay or not stay for the auction , catch up with other members
maybe later there can be one that moves around but until others put their hard earned cash up and take the risks then and only then will other expos/auctions happen
I have been to the USA one twice and plan to go again this year , the time and effort put into that ... so many stalls and so many free pins to play and listen to the great talks
one week isnt enough ...
good luck to guys that run it ( and honestly who cares if its in melbourne or sydney its not a state v state thing )
