has the NCLUG looked into doing a display at that show? Its some easy money

I'd have to disagree with the "esay money" comment.  If it's a two
day show, you spend two full days at the show, including set-up and
tear down.  That's $150 for the club (in our case about 15 people).
Two days of my time is worth a bit more than $150, and that's just
one person.  The money WAMALUG receives from train shows barely
covers the costs of materials we need to do the shows (tables, table
skirts, plexiglass etc).

By all means do train shows, they are tons of fun, and it creates a
focal point for club efforts.  It's amazing to see what happens
when 15 people all contribute to one layout.  The "I can't believe
we have all this stuff/built all this stuff" feeling is overwhelming.
