REMINDER and PRODUCT INFO
CONFERENCE
Places are filling and NOW is a good time to finalise your attendance at the VADEA Conference!
Conference DINNER - this is not new for conferences, but new for VADEA (well what isn't??) it will be a great place to meet people, "network" and generally just have a good time with like minded people. If you are not sure about The Observatory have a look at their website - the facilities (including their Spa) are wonderful!!! Only $60.00 for a 3 course meal, in luxury surroundings!
ECKERSLEY'S Art & Craft has become a major supporter of our conference and will have a "stall" there. In addition to this (as you probably already know) they will visit in schools and give information on new products - it so happens that I had one of these occasions last week. I was shown a great new product for cutting foam core board - there are three tools, one cuts a channel so that you can make a right angle join, another special tool to cut smooth curves and the most fun tool (IMHO) is an adjustable circle cutter.
If you have ever wanted to use foam core for sculpture (or anything really) these are the tools for you!!
So why not support the company that supports us? Also why not list any other GREAT products to share with your colleagues??
