Feedback...APF

[Andy Collins]

 

i go to these shows to see the stuff i'm intrested in working, and alot of it wasn't and couldn't

 

the only harvester i saw working was on the big screen

 

 

You must be unlucky, on the above points, plenty of mills demo-ing, woodsplitters and the like, and did you not get as far as the John Deere area? They advertised the times that their harvesters forwarders and so on were operating on a board, so you could plan your route to take in the scene of a real working environment. Maybe the point is, demo times could be advertised in the brochure that was handed out at the gate.

being a tight sod i took my own stove and did my own burgers enjoyed the show and got some good deals to offset the entrance fee will go next time its on

[christreeroot]

I had a good day, didnt think the entrance price3 was that bad as all shows that you go to are not cheap to get into...

 

I thought the food situation was awful and really let the APF down, almost like somebody had forgot to do the job and had a quick ring around at the last moment.... I dont mind paying £4.50 for a burger at one of these do's for a burger but you can get a local company with decent quality locally sourced food to sell at the same price, even have those people who roast a whole pig onsite... Please next time APF committee dont feed us worse than dog food....

 

It was good to see some people and put names to faces on here and had a good time spending some money on mapping software and a few other bits, saved a few £'s as well...

 

Was a little disapointed in Honey Brothers as they have told us they are rectifying there high prices, i dont think this materialised at the show but hey they are a biggish company and it takes time......

 

 

The funny thing about the show was the blatent difference between foresters and arborists at the show - you can really tell the difference as they walk around

 

 

Overall a good APF just let down by the food.....

Well I hope I looked like a forester. Why is it a lot of the arbs insist on walking round in chainsaw pants?!?

[Ian150482]

Thats true Ed, when i've been at other shows i've always worn them, have no idea why.

Well stop doing it.

What other ways did arb and forestry people differ Christreeroot?

Its like the people who go round game fairs in the middle of summer in tweeds and waxed jackets when its 80 degrees.
