Is anyone in NELUG seriously considering doing the February show? It is
supposed to be a HUGE show. Three buildings full of trains at the Big-E
fair grounds. Supposedly, the GATS and Greenburg shows pale in
comparrison. I know I would volunteer to do that show.


As you have probably seen on our mailing list we are trying to encourage a W.
Mass sub group to start meeting.  I think if that happens it would be much more
likely that we would try and do the event.  Please make any suggestions you want
about this event on our mailing list as well as on LUGNET just so you don't miss
anybody.

If Teddy and I meet at lunch today, does that count:) He works upstairs
from me.

I am just worried that the opportunity to present at the show might
evaporate if we wait too long.

I am trying to feel out the core NELUG membership. I am not looking for
a committment. It is just that it is hard to tell if any one from NELUG
is interested in doing the show. So far there hasn't been any traffic on
the issue.

If no one in NELUG is interested in doing the show, then we in Central
and Western Mass have to decide if we are going to try to pull of the
show on our own as a committed group of individuals. Which I think we
could do if we really wanted. It wouldn't be as good as a NELUG show,
but it might not be any worse than some of the real model rail roaders
that I saw last weekend.

So, I'll ask again... is anyone interested (at all) in doing the show?
If yes, then what would be required to get you (as an individual or as a
representative of NELUG) to commit to the show?

Is there a GATS show in November? I would like to talk about
volunteering for that show too.


There is a Greenberg show in Wilmington MA the weekend of the 16th.  Hope to see
you there.

Should I take this to mean that you don't need any volunteers for that show?
