I think Tony's statement below hits the nail on the head. I have to agree - I had a ball at the last Irish "Show" - and so far everyone who was there is coming again!! all 6 or so of them :-)) It doesn't really matter anymore about profitability - the shows aren't, no matter how hard you try - QL2000 was the one recent exception, but we are three years on from that now. I think its very important we have one more big show though to mark the QL's 20th anniversary.... But I'd say thats it. Can we contact all the old QLers? Ron Dunnett? Freddy Vaccha? Simon Goodwin?? etc?
QUANTA should fund it - Can anyone from QUANTA make a comment on this? Are there any of the QUANTA guys still on this list?? Tony is right Tarquin - just organise it. Get a hall. Get some Tea and Coffee. Thats about the size of it. Darren Branagh, Bank of Ireland - Cards And Loans Business, Nassau House, 33/35 Nassau Street, Dublin 2. Ireland.

If there is now other show near, then it is just a matter of getting a hall, telling people (including traders) and asking Quanta to pay for the hall. Food and drink is a bonus. You cannot have fewer than the last Irish show (8-)# .. and that was one of the best recent events I have attended. -- QBBS (QL fido BBS 2:252/67) +44(0)1442-828255 tony@<surname>.co.uk http://www.firshman.co.uk Voice: +44(0)1442-828254 Fax: +44(0)1442-828255 TF Services, 29 Longfield Road, TRING, Herts, HP23 4DG ******************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
