IndyLUG has had an excellent expierence with GATS over the years. We do
their show twice a year, October & January. We always get all the space we
want, a decent apperance fee plus we also do a couple of paid workshops
entitled "How LEGO Trains Work".
It would be interesting to know some of the details of this situation if
Robin is at liberty to discuss them, and he may not be.
