On behalf of the Woodturners of the Hunter Co-op Ltd. I would like to invite you to the Hunter United – Woodworking, Hobbies & Craft Expo 2005. This, our 10th Expo, will once again bring the biggest and best range of products, services and exhibitors under one roof. The NEWCASTLE ENTERTAINMENT CENTRE , is a great location and is situated at Brown Road, Broadmeadow, opposite the Broadmeadow railway station, with even more space allocated to cater for over 150 exhibitors from last year's event as well as many new site-holders.

Since the inaugural Wood Working & Craft Expo in 1996 over $385,000 has been raised for the John Hunter Children’s Hospital Kids Club. This event attracts over200 exhibitors from all over Australia keen to expose their wares. The Woodworking & Craft Expo has grown to become a well respected, national event of the highest standard, providing an affordable medium for retailers and guilds to exhibit, demonstrate and sell their products, whilst maintaining it’s mission to help the sick kids of the Hunter Region and beyond. This year will be the 10^th Expo continuing the Woodturners of the Hunter support of the John Hunter Children’s Hospital Kids Club.

This year's Expo will feature; woodturning - with demonstrations as well as hand crafted products for sale; exotic, reclaimed forest timbers for sale; recycled timber furniture and homewares; a huge range of woodworking and craft tools demonstrations and sales; leadlighting; lapidary; glassblowing; quilting; folk art; tapestry; needlecraft; china painting; decoupage; spinning; doll making; patchwork iron work; floral art; pottery and much more. 

Special guests this year U-Beaut Polishes will showcase their fantastic range of unique finishing products and running continuous demonstrations.

A beautiful, handcrafted grandfather clock valued at $6,000 will be just one of the great prizes on offer over the three day event. ^"Cafe d'art" will once again provide visitors with a chance to relax with a coffee and watch artists at work. Full catering facilities will be on as well as hassle-free parking and easy, ground-level access.

Though more exhibition space has been allocated due to the high demand for sites last year, we recommend that you confirm and pay for your site by the deadline set to ensure your position at this major event.
