Hey Robin, when it comes time to put the show stuff on the website (how about a link to Bryan's pics on Brickshelf for now?) how about we include the jpg of the final layout design? Kevin (24 years ago, 17-Nov-00, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

Congratulations! Keep an eye on the Christmas stock of Lego trains in the local TRUs, I noticed tht the ones in Edmonton, seem to have twice as many as last year in stock.

(...) I'm not trying to put _too_ much of a dampner on it, I wouldn't be back in Victoria in March. Mid April, yes, for a week, and then mid May. I don't _think_ that there is a show in the spring (it always used to be fall), give me a day and I (...) (24 years ago, 15-Nov-00, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

(...) There is also the "Western Rails - Canada's Largest Railroadiana Show" on Sunday, March 18th, right back at the same place, Cameron Rec Centre in Burnaby.

Most places (malls, halls, etc.) will have some tables, and yes, most will be a "similar" height. But there is ALWAYS a good chance that they will be off by 0.5", for example, which would be no problem for bingo night, or a raffle ticket selling (...) (24 years ago, 15-Nov-00, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)
