It would appear that there are now 2 different tow shows happening on the same weekend and it seems to be causing some division in the ranks of towers... Lots of discussion is happening in places about this issue, and while I do not support just 1 association / show I feel that there is room for 2 shows especially in places like Florida. Look at the Texas shows, there are 2 of them now and both are well attended. So lets talk about the show here and get the disucssion going... "To be honest, I'm more worried about what the government can do to me than what they can do for me."

This show and the dates were the only ones available at the time due to schedules of both the Florida State Fairgrounds and the Hard Rock Casino and Hotel... I am sure that many of you remember when the PWOF tow show (think it was in 2004 or so) was moved from the Hyatt where it had been for many years to Disney... There was like 3 or 4 months notice to do the show, and the only weekend available was the Mothers day weekend.. That created a lot of problems and concern but as the show promoters did mention the dates were the only ones available. What we as towers seem to forget is that we as towers enjoy going to shows at motels- resorts or convention centers which are sometimes booked 2 to 3 years in advance... Now I am not saying that this was a deliberate ploy to divide the industry but it does have reasons for being on the same date at least this year... So lets not bash it into the ground and we can all discuss this issue further. "To be honest, I'm more worried about what the government can do to me than what they can do for me."

Yes there are a few issues where information is being restricted or hidden from towers... I want to say, that I have no problem promoting either or both tow show here... We have to know about sources of information and training in order to be well informed... Also rest assured on one thing, I am learning how to use the settings and stuff here and as such I might have settings wrong at times... NOTHING HAS BEEN DELETED, it might be hidden till I can figure out how to keep it from being hidden... I will approve comments in posts and other places if you see things that are marked "for moderator or administrative approval" Just give me time to learn and reset controls.

The Hyatt had taken the reservations & all the show stuff & when the show ended the next week they shut down. Once Disney was secured it was put in publications & throughout PWOF. Also it was told to all the vendors & a notice was put at the regisration table of the show dates for the upcoming shows. The new assos. has known the dates since they were the ones asking for it when Disney is up to bring it there instead of to thr Hilton @ Disney. There is alot more to the issues than they are saying & alot of the ideas will set our industry back in the legislation. But only time will tell if this too fails like the last assosciation that tried. We will be in ORLANDO- Home of the real & only FLORIDA TOW SHOW Warren Driscoll --- *877-KW TOWS U --158692009*

Posts: 29 01/10/08 21:00:16	AS I sit here reading Warren Driscolls post am wondering why hes here , he has his own Forum & backed by friends there who support him. I was banned from that site for calling him a Moron!! as more people filter over to this site ,maybe they will find why I made such a brash statement . I told only one person of this place in which I found but the cling-on seemed to follow . so now I would only say to him.. Why are you over on this Forum? bashing The Tampa Show, promoting the Orlando show, and making the statements you are making? Such things you are doing here would never be allowed on the other Forum. I would say to you:: If you wont to talk make sure your statements are correct & what your trying to say makes sense , because if you don't its fair game here & I'm going to rip your ass!!!! so with that being said have a nice day & lay off the Tampa Show !!we don't care to here your opinion .

Yes PWOF was left in a bit of a lurch when the Hyatt closed.. Yes the PWOF has people who think they are the best, others are looking for a change... (remember there are 13 or so people trying to be president of the United States) Ford verses Chevrolet Gordan verses Earnhart NRC verses Miller or Jerr-Dan Tampa verses Orlando All of them have supporters... But I do know that Warren does support PWOF maybe because of history. His father was one of the founders of PWOF.. Is that wrong or loyality? Just lets leave the fights behind and be a professional bunch of people. "To be honest, I'm more worried about what the government can do to me than what they can do for me."

Posts: 9 01/11/08 02:06:26	Brett for once you are right about something, why is that post in this section? I posted it in the PWOF flyer forum, so I guess the bugs are not out of the system.. Warren Driscoll --- *877-KW TOWS U --158692009*

But the debate continues... Yes Warren, only time will tell if the new assocation is going to work or not... Side note for everyone, I guess there are bugs and stuff which I have to learn about on the boards, heck I am going respect for the headaches "others" go through in running the boards...
