All very good points, Robin. I'll not add to this discussion any further for fear of endless banter about silly little things. Plexi would be in the lead for me provided there is some height to the plexi (not just 2 inches). And you can clean the (...) (23 years ago, 7-Aug-01, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

(...) I'm sorry that you got stuck with this, by default, but you should be taking names and numbers. If we do initiate some of the ideas that we tossed around at the show (workshops, etc.), those callers would be prime candidates. Robin (23 years ago, 7-Aug-01, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

OK, here goes ... <Devil's advocate mode ON> (...) For most, I think. Most kids at our display were with parents, and even if the plexi wasn't a barrier for the kids, it would clue the parents in to keep the kids from reaching over the top, etc. Of (...)

(...) There was a crew from CTV (channel 8, cable 11), and then later, a crew from Global (channel 10, cable 13). Unfortunately, I missed all the stories.

Okay, gang: One of several things we'll need to discuss soon -- rope and plexi barriers. I think we still need a barrier for shows. Following is a list of Pros and Cons for each -- please add your two cents as well because I doubt I got everything: (...) (23 years ago, 7-Aug-01, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

The e-mail and phone calls I've received about the VLC from our recent public show has been from young children. We want AFOLS. Hopefully they will still contact us.
