OK, like Michel suggested, it's probably a good idea to slow down the tossing around of new ideas, and make some decisions. Before we start deciding on specific layout considerations, we should get some ground level stuff out of the way. When's our (...) (24 years ago, 12-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug)

(...) True. Have you gotten any indication from them what size they would give us? The largest we can take up (without using the roundtable) is 120" x 180" or 150" x 150". If we have the roundtable, we can increase that to 150" x 180". Obviously we (...) (24 years ago, 13-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug)

Whatever happened to the guys who came to GETS2000 and were AFOLs? Has any of them contacted anyone of us (NALUG) yet? They might be able to assist with Calgarty.

This is a long shot, but hey, I'll try anything... Would anyone in VLC be interested in helping us with a layout at the Supertrain show in Calgary (Feb 17-18)? NALUG has been invited, but not all of us can attend. The real need just one more person (...)
