Hi all,

Has anyone been to the meetings/swap-meets for the Mid North Coast NSW branch of the HRSA? Is there ever any television-related bits that pop up for display or sale? I'm looking at going to the HRSA meeting on July 27th at Nambucca Heads, as apparently you don't need to be a member to go.

Will anyone else be going to any such meetings?

Chris

A lot of the clubs have open meetings as this is a way to attract new members.

Have you ever been to one Chris?

I haven't, but since they have a prize category for best
B&W TV display, there is at least some interest there.

Here's a technique that I have used successfully at such events: attach a plastic name tag holder to your pocket with a note on it such as:

WANTED
Any old TV


(you can add your name and number if you like).

This sort of thing:

As you move around people read your 'want ad' and will say something like "I've got one" or "I know a bloke who has those", etc.

Hi Brek, no I've never been to one. I've been meaning to look into it for a long while but never really got around to it. I would like to go to the July one as it would give me time to save up some money for any goodies that pop up.

GTC, thank you for the advice with the name tag! That's actually a great idea. I think I have some of the little name-badge holders somewhere which would be ideal for this. Fingers crossed it delivers some results!

Chris
