I hope GATS decides to do this, we almost always had a crowd at our table.
Greenberg is also very interested in getting more LEGO layouts into
their shows.

I am amazed at our amazing start as well, we came a long way since August.
Here's a short list of the causes of our success(in no part. order).
-All of the clubs/user groups have inspired us and helped tremendously,
especially the PNLTC and GMLTC in the early days when we were still a
train
club.
-Our proximity to the LEGO Outlet is a big help, we gained a lot of
membership
through chance meetings there.
-We should thank the NGLTC for referring the Greenberg Shows to us. Having
two shows to do in two weeks motivated us.
-the availability of a meeting place in Rosslyn, VA that is sorta-central
to all of us. Close to Metrorail, interstates, buses, etc.
-LUGNET- what can we say about it that hasn't already been said. Thanks.
-gaining a member in sept that forced us into motion(she said, "I'm
joining your club, I have a lot of LEGO, and we are going to meet here
at this time and you all are going to be there)
-our "All-Day-Plays"- we meeting somewhere around 9 or 10 am, build and
play all day, realize around 7 or 8 pm that we haven't eaten, eat, play
some more, clean up the lego, talk till midnight or so.
-all of our members
There's probably some more factors which I'll let the rest of the club
discuss. I have to go the a meeting.
-Chris
