Hi, I think the only real way to get a central location is to buy *a lot* of bricks and build an artificial island in the middle of the Bay ;-) Seriously, I wouldn't mind driving pretty much anywhere around the Bay, as long as it is on weekends (...)

(...) We're even more spread out than that. We have "members" who signed up through the web form from Wisconsin, Tennesee, the UK, and I believe Australia. I'm still trying to find out if they are bogus or not. (23 years ago, 26-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.us.baylug, lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)

(...) Well, I've only been to the last 2 and those were each scheduled as 4 hours total (2 hours private, 2 hours public).

Hi, I think this makes a lot of sense: a "business" meeting would also enable us to prepare the next public meeting so we could do things like setting up a small city next to the train tracks or bring a bunch of models from a particular theme.
