Neaf 2013

I was able to make it to the last day of NEAF...while there were a few less vendors than last year, i think the crowd was a about the same size as past years. As usual, it was a good show.

And in a pleasant surprise I ran into a couple of folks from BINTEL at the show. It was great to see them and catch up on things from Oz and oh yes, I picked up a couple of bits and bobs...

Hi Scott,

Is it raining where you are.?? Perhaps you didn't get a big enough toy to make it rain.

Enjoy your new stuff. I'm sure you will anyway.

Cheers

I believe the Lunt guys didn't have a booth this year (and the Solar Chat display was also missing...)

I'm soooo jealous, I was asked to present at the NEAIC 2013 which is held just prior to the trade show and just down the road. With a couple of hurdles and after trying to wrangle it, unfortunately I had to decline the invite and miss a free trip to New York so man, am I envious of you for sure Scott

I did not buy enough to make it rain...only enough to bring a chill back to the evening wind...last night it nearly got down to freezing...at least we did not get snow here!

No Lunt and a few other vendors did not display this year...but rest assured there was still plenty of drool worthy gear on display and for sale
