It is much too late. Our first shows happened in 1985.

Kia-
Sorry you're so upset. Just a FYI on the copyright info. To successfully
defend a copyright, I'm pretty sure that you need to show that you had the
idea first. The circle-c is to help people protect their intellectal
property simply, without a lot of paperwork. Placing a cirle-c is one
thing, successfully defending it is another.
Regardless of if you could successfully defend the copyright on the logo, by
law you are prohibited from copyrighting an idea, fact, title, name, short
phrase, or blank form. To protect a name, you would need to apply for a
trademark. (You can see more here : http://www.benedict.com/basic/basic.htm )
If it's really that important to you, we have not trademarked the name gmltc
either as we like to spend our money on bricks. We can't stop you from
calling your club gmltc too. Of course whether you're recognized as such in
this forum is a matter of debate.
We don't change our ground rules about letting people display regardless of
how angry they are, so if in the future you decide to bring something to a
show, you are more than free to run it on the layout. Helping to build the
layout however, requires a physical presence in Minneapolis.
