November is pretty open for me, but I work on Saturdays- and an all day trip is
likely to be on a Saturday.
I would be free either of the first two weekends of the month, Sunday and/or
Monday. I'd love to be able to go, too! Although, maybe we could arrange a
tour with TLG? I have heard of them doing things like that before, like for Ed
Jones/Boxer (of course, they extended the invitation to him, because they were
photographing his model). Perhaps we could weasel a similar offer out of them?
I know at the first meeting I was supposed to write up a draft of a letter to
send to TLG, but I hit some very big initial walls in style that I have been
meaning to discuss with the group. It would, however, better be discussed in
person (email/usenet is nice and all, but it's still too individualised to
facilitate a free-moving flow of ideas). The problem is, it's looking less and
less like I can make it tonight....
Ok, so, here's the really big issue: I think that a letter of the type we're
talking about sending is more likely to get a positive and definitive response
if it comes from a single person representing the group (i.e., Hi, my name is
so-and-so and I represent NELUG, etc etc etc, I would love to hear from you
about how you would like our relationship to develop, blah blah blah). A
person at TLG is more likely to be responsive to a person elsewhere, rather
than to a whole group (IMHO... see the example of the guy who was able to buy
bulk bricks in NZ/Oz as an example. He forged a personal relationship and
reaped rewards).
The problem is, I was uncomfortable writing said letter setting myself up to be
that person without the approval of the rest of the group. Beleive me, I have
no probem being that person, I just didn't want to assume the responsibility
for it without the ok of the group.
Right! So I guess the subject has now been brought up. Discuss.

Dan, maybe you could see if there is any way that we could set up a tour and if so if there are any restrictions or minimums for the number of attendees or the time of the week. I know that not (...)
