  Re: Future of the club
 
We need to discuss the NEXT show now. Since one of the two is fast approaching. I don't really want to go all the way to chiliwak so what is the other one(s)? Dean (23 years ago, 7-Aug-01, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

It was awesome indeed. Comments and things: Mostly, people wanted to buy the following "kits": David's sky train, David's gondola, all Robin's Harry Potter stuff, and Dean's drive in.

  Re: Rope & Plexi revisited
 
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 (...)

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.
