Note also, they don't HAVE to be fullpage additions to the catalog. They can
simply be a cardstock insert stapled in the center with the order form, so that
allows making changes closer to BW'03 without affecting the full S@H catalog
layout (as changes to a catalog layout at the last minute are usually dropped
because of the hassle involved in affecting the ENTIRE layout).
It doesn't even need to be a color cardstock insert, B&W would do, as long as
the info is THERE.

| Myself and others of SCLTC have begun our own little private discussion for BW'03 (just before Todd put up his post on LUGNET, coincidence???). I noted to the club LEGO has to do a better job promoting the event. Yes, I know BW'02 was a "first time" (...) (22 years ago, 11-Jul-02, to lugnet.events.brickswest)
