If you register an interest in this thread it will keep it bouncing, and more will then notice and do the same. Already there has been a good response in the Artsoft forum.

The recent Mach3 Convention over in Knoxville was a huge success and I'm sure we can do the same on this side of the ocean.

Count me in!

Every convention needs at least one serious eccentric, so you had better count me in as well.
John

Obviously it would be slap bang in the centre of the country.....I'm there already lol

No way I can make it (I live in Wyoming), but maybe my products could.

I would be interested in someone demonstrating my touch probe/tool height setter and my machining camera. If anyone has a machine they will be taking to demo with and has an interest. I donated a touch probe/tool height setter to the Knoxville convention and one to the great demonstrator who showed them and passed out brochures.

Sounds perfect Graham and please count me in for the weekend.

Just a quick message to register my interest in this event also.

I am up for it - and I only live in Barnsley-keep me informed ,I can give moral support and make coffee lol ,or will try and help in anyway I can.

I have an X3 mill and a self converted Orac lathe, would be happy to be involved relating my experiances with CNC topics,or just making the tea!
Like any event it will need publicity, Hugh the Syil uk agent should have a list of people he has sold machines to, maybe he could make his customers aware of the show.
Cheers

Mike

I am not sure but I think the show is to be re scheduled people need to check

I'm registering my interest, though I have nothing to contribute bar.. If I can CNC so can Thee.. You know poetry, swarf making kind of involvment. Should be fantastic.

i would be interested in going to the show.

Graham has pulled out from doing the idea. He sites event insurance from been his obstacle. I am half tempted to organize one for England from my remote place as far as Australia. I can almost guarantee its success.
In fact as a challenge, and for my own amusement of the power of the internet, I think I will organize one. It would only be a day event or two days max. I will start to canvass a few people for some possible sites. Leave it with me. This will be fun.

Fun indeed in a "savage amusement" kind of way :) I wish you only the best...Myself I can't organise a good meeting in a brewery... If you catch my drift :D

ive been involved in a few events before, assuming we have 100 people or less the legal required insurance will be around £150 for 1mil 3rd party cover and employers cover (needed even if people volunteer to help). That said you might need a uk resident to sign the policy.

Progress, There is an event in the works already, but I have been asked to hold off from promoting it just yet. From what I have heard, its going to be an attachment to an existing show and a test to see interest for maybe a stand alone one the next year.
I will let you guys know when I am given the green light.
