Hi all, I must admit that I'm still a little puzzled as to how our tables are actually laid out. To that end, I've uploaded a couple of files to the ftl site. Hopefully, someone (Kevin?) can illuminate me as to the layout. Tables-Worksheet.bmp - a (...) (23 years ago, 11-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

(...) OK, so then we only need to get 1 more door. Bonus! (...) I should have posted this before. David's doors are 30 x 80, and 32 x 80, so we should be able to put my 28 and David's 32 side by side, and voila! Anybody else find another door (...) (23 years ago, 10-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

(...) I found out that the tables are 2.5 x 6 feet!?! Kevin!! Can these work at all? Please post your synopsis. On the other side of the coin, David has secured 2 suitable doors, so that makes a total of 3 doors in the bag (for nothing!). How many (...) (23 years ago, 10-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

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)
