From what I've seen, they want fairly large isles - a good idea IMO.

"The optimist" doesn't want to get us in over our heads either. ;-)
I heard back this morning, and it appears we may be able to get the
"best of both worlds". The layout planner sent a diagram of the kids
play area backed into the "courtyard", (I can't believe I hadn't thought
of it myself) and IMO it works very well. Combine it with the layout
from Nolin (the local boy) and you have a nice block in the middle of
the train show. The other big plus I see with this is that we can use
the building pillars as both visual and physical reinforcement of the
rope barricades - should be sufficient to keep everyone at a safe distance.
I have drawn in the ropes and tables as I would expect them to be and
written back for confirmation that I am understanding the layout correctly.

Blue is 5' high "show curtains" and red is rope (which I still need to buy).

| (...) Hmm. Well, two and a half, but yeah, it's not a 4-sided layout location. There's an easy solution, but it depends on what requirements they have for clearances. If we do a 36x12 layout, that gives us a walkway (4' wide) behind - but the show (...) (23 years ago, 16-Jan-01, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug)
