Woodex which has now reached its 16th year has over the last year or two, like other shows, seen a reduction in trade support and therefore the organisers have decided to totally change the format of the show and to make it
ADMISSION FREE for all visitors.
The trade stand holders have recognised that this is a real move for the future of the exhibition and there is great interest in being involved in this new style of show. Standholders who have not attended for the last couple of years are now looking to be represented and it will be a busy show with all the leading suppliers present.
The exhibition will have no less than twelve well known demonstrators in attendance - turners, carvers, furniture makers and polishers whilst the clubs will again be showing a vast range of their members' work. Last year saw no less than 26 demonstrators and club members working with their lathes and we expect the same level of exhibits of people's work - some 800 pieces of work.
Confirmed demonstrators include; Reg Sherwin, John Berkeley, Ray Jones, Guy Ravine, Lisa Raby, John Pizzey, Anne Hayes, Reg Slack, Stephen Cooper, Mark Hancock, Michael Painter and Andrew Mather.
The show covers all areas of woodworking including turning, carving, carpentry and marquetry and there will be something for everyone at the show. It is widely enjoyed by enthusiasts young and old as well as general DIY enthusiasts and anyone with an interest in practical hobby work.
