Hi guys, I got this email from the Mount Cheam Lion's Train Show people. They want us! The show is on October 20th and 21st. I'll reply that I'm taking it to the club, and keep the communication open. We (the club) can discuss it here ... Robin (...) (23 years ago, 9-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

Just another thought ... For this first show (TTOS in Richmond) we do have free tables available for use. Should I inquire as to sizes and see if we could make them work for us? It would sure save us some money right now, and let us all concentrate (...) (23 years ago, 9-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

(...) I think that if we were to put some sort of vertical strengthener between the ends of the sheets, it would be much stronger, stiffer, less prone to bending or breaking, and more visible as well. I know that there is something that is designed (...) (23 years ago, 9-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

(...) I just want to be sure it won't crack on drilling and that it can't be broken easily while people pull on it. I'd hate it to break and hurt someone. (...) I'd prefer the higher tables as well. The "Real" Train guys tables are MUCH higher then (...) (23 years ago, 9-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

Did a Home Depot run today, and checked prices, availability, etc. I also picked up all the stuff to make the sign post, etc. I came home, prepared it, and put it together. It looks great!

I thought last night's meeting went very well! I've put together a long "To Do" list, sorted by individual, detailing everything (and a little more) that was discussed. Note that there a few unassigned items. Who wants them? I have not talked to (...) (23 years ago, 3-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

Hi, I've looked at the most recent layout and I don't have any complaints. I sure hope we get a lot accomplished during Monday evening's meeting. I feel like a hypocrite myself since I won't be there - in fact, I'll be out of town from July 2nd (...) (23 years ago, 30-Jun-01, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

(...) I agree with you, Dean, that participation is lacking. However, I think "we" can still pull it off, and have a lot of fun doing it. There is help waiting in the wings (ie. off-line), but lacking direction, they don't know what to do. I think (...) (23 years ago, 26-Jun-01, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)
