Issue 12, December 2009
G'day fellas,
Well it's almost that time of year again - a time when everything has a tight deadline, and everyone wants the job finished in time for the family get-together at Christmas! And despite the fact that we are in the office and not on the tools, it's no difference here at Club Tradie HQ, where we have been working hard to put together some really great events for you in the first half of next year.
In 2010 we have crunched all our suppliers to get you the absolute best deals you can get - anywhere, anytime. The only catch is, you have to get along to the Expo to get them. Next year, the National Tradesman's Expo really will be Australia's BIGGEST SALE for Tradies and if you look below in the rest of this newsletter, you will see we have the early mail on what some of those deals will be.
In Sydney, our new tool partner VEK Tools, in conjunction with Construction Supply Specialists are offering some great exclusive pallet deals - get in early for these because once the pallet is empty, the deal is over - while Vince at C & L Tool Centre (United Tools) and Battista at United Tools Coburg have dug deep to bring you some great deals and exclusive value adds in Brisbane and Melbourne respectively.
Back by popular demand is the Earthmoving Equipment Test Centre, where you can compare and test drive your latest excavator or skiddie before you buy. And new to Sydney, we welcome the NSW Ute Club and the Great Tradie Ute Muster. Bring along your own ute and see how it compares to some of Sydney hottest work vehicles!
In Brisbane, the Electro Expo is back, along with the Master Builders Pavilion, featuring seminars on a range of important topics at the Master Builders Stage. Make sure to note that the Brisbane show has moved venues at the RNA Showground, across the road to the Exhibition Building on Gregory Terrace, with the Electro Expo in the adjacent Commerce Building.We are also happy to welcome our east coast Tradies Expo sponsors, Master Builders (NSW), Master Builders (QLD), Master Plumbers Association of Queensland, Master Plumbers Association (NSW), Master Plumbers & Mechanical Services Association Australia (VIC), Electrical & Communication Association (QLD), Golden Bucket Allied Earthmovers Association, Master Plumbers (VIC) and Rebel FM (QLD).
I know, it's almost too much to wait for! I wish it was closer too. But do us a favour - grab your missus, give her a nice break over Chrissie and then when March comes along, she won't feel all that bad about letting you come along and spend your hard earned cashola at the National Tradesman's Expo in your city.
From all of us here at Club Tradie, have a great Christmas and a happy and safe new year and we look forward to seeing you again in 2010!
