That sounds like a reasonable destination from Canandaigua for me. I'd be
happy to offer up my church's nicely remodeled function room if somebody
wants a change of venue in the future.

I've got my son's baseball game to attend that weekend - I think it's on the
25th, so I'm very tentative regarding attendance. Without Alan and John
Barnes, I'm less inclined. I wanted to get their input on 12v portions of
the layout for LUCNYville, and need to work with John on testing his new
sensors for the crossing gates.

I have to gawk a bit if I attend. However, I like Wayne's suggestion that
we plop down baseplates and cobble up a real-world design. That may not be
everyone's cup-o-tea, so I'd like to keep everybody happy, especially
non-train folks. Their designs and creativity is valuable.

I'd like to do that after business is attended to and we calm Wayne down.
:^)
A lot of energy and creativity comes out of activities and contests, and it
provides an adhesive chord for all of us to rally around in a light-hearted
manner. LEGO needs playtime, don't you think?

Not preferred at this time, but once we have a layout, we'll make more sense
to outsiders regarding what we do in the group. Otherwise, they may get
confused/scared/bored.

Thanks, John!

| I'm still up for the 18th, if anybody wants to consider rescheduling. There's no perfect date, but we might catch more of us this way. John R's location sounds good to me, either way. What do you all think? Alan (22 years ago, 1-May-02, to lugnet.org.us.lucny)
