I will transport stuff on Sat, set up on Sat and Sun am, attend all day
Sun, and teardown on Sun.

I just DL'ed Track Designer (get it here:
http://www.ngltc.org/train_depot/tddl20.htm) and I'm going to rough out
an initial design. If we all have the program we can toss ideas back and
forth and look at the possibilities. I really can't meet this week until
Thurs at the earliest, I have my Mum here from the UK and she leaves
Thurs eve.

Calm down guys! We do have a month and between us we do already have a
fair amount of stuff.

I suggest that we just have the eleveated track along the cliff that we
discussed at the last meeting, which will include a small bridge
(trestle-ish), on the folding table that I bring. I can do that and
bring it all ready set up. Dock at one end, castle or beach (or even
both) at the other. Very high buildings are probably not necessary, 5 or
6 storeys are about as high as we need.
Bear in mind we don't need to be as good as the clubs who have been
doing this for 10 years!
I have a load of vehicles already made to bring (the ones I brought to
the town meet) plus ready made street lamps and traffic lights.
No-one responded to my suggestion of a dry run the Friday before the
show (10th Nov) as the November club meeting. We could just load all the
tables and track straight into my van afterwards.
