 | | More Important Hobby Show info
|
| We have a 30x30 display area and my table getting guy can get his hands on 10ish tables. Each table is 8 feet long So we may be a little short on the perimeter--1 or 2 extra tables would be nice. If not, then more room for the people to walk around (...) (19 years ago, 20-Oct-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.loc.ca.on)

| I just received all the paperwork for the hobby show. First, to get the 'special rate' for electricity, the forms must be signed and sent in by Oct 20th. K, I'll handle that. Secondly, the passes must be picked up on Thursday between 8 a.m. and 10 (...) (19 years ago, 19-Oct-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.loc.ca.on)

| (...) To the best of my knowledge no group has ever been paid to attend The Hobby Show specifically. I can't speak to other shows, but for this one I'm pretty sure there has only ever been two basic types of booths: 1) Club booths - like us, or the (...)

| (...) Jeff E had a lovely little Marry Go Round that was powered of a crank connected to a gear motor. You could get it going around pretty good too, as I recall. I can't seem to find any pictures of it. I thought he built it for Train2. Derek (19 years ago, 29-Sep-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.loc.ca.on)
| | | | | Re: Hobby Show--huh??

| (...) Depends - the module that got the most run-time at BrickFest was likely my Cascade one (as it can run stand-alone and for an hour or more at a time with no supervision... better than my children, actually). I only swapped batteries on it (...) (19 years ago, 29-Sep-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.loc.ca.on)

| (...) Like Calum said before, I don't think we should have to PAY to be there (don't some groups get PAID to be at shows?). But electricity is nice in our modern times, and it's a good time, so you can count me in for another $10. -Greg (19 years ago, 29-Sep-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.loc.ca.on)
