Wood, and somewhere to build a decent fire at the adjacent campsite.

@AHPPThanks very much for this, it is great insight into what would make a show great for this community. 

 

The plan would be to have, adequate signing for all talks/demos along with a physical show guide outlining the timing and who will be speaking ect, is there anything else that you would find helpful for this?

 

With the talks/demonstrations and workshops, we would love to have the highest quality of knowledge being shared, do you have any recommendations that you could put me in touch with? I also really like the idea of the roaming mic and making it as interactive as possible. (It would be great to have a gazebo so we dont get rained on!🤣)

 

Another person has mentioned rigging gear and demos, so I think it would be a perfect fit!

Does anyone have a particular seminar topic they would like to see?

Judging by questions that come up on here frequently. 

 

Tree vicinity to houses, wrt structural damage.

Tree health problems e.g. diseases, fungal attack.

Chainsaw and other machinery maintenance and tuning.

Were it will be held would will be your major problem, getting people to turn up. 

All trade stands would need people noing what they are taking about nothing worse than someone how nose nothing about what you are both looking at.. 

You can advertise as much as you want but people may not turn up, like a demo day held by a dealer a couple of weeks ago, I spent 2 hour talking to greenmech and husqvarna reps with no one else turning up in that time.

But don't let piles of school kids in to get the numbers up.
