Live Oak Update

[Ron Fiebelkorn <rfieb@inetport.com>]

For some time I had a feeling that I was not getting all of my e-mail 
messages so yesterday I loaded a new e-mail program on my home 
computer.  I've already discovered a couple of messages that I didn't get 
and I'm sure there's more.  The following is what I have for next 
week-end's AMRE show at Live Oak.  Let me know if there's areas that need 
to be updated because I missed your e-mail.

Friday Afternoon:  Adrian will be towing the trailer and plans on getting 
to Live Oak around 4:00/4:30 pm.  So far Ira, Bob, Scott (later in the day) 
and myself will be there to help Adrian set up the layout in our 26'x22 
area.  Contact Adrian if you have a module you plan on bringing that is not 
in the trailer.  We will also try and inventory the items that are in the 
trailer.

Saturday:  The show runs from 9:00am to 4:00pm.  Exhibitor badges will be 
handed out Saturday morning from 7-9am.  We have been asked to enter 
through the large roll-up door at the rear of the building before the show 
opens to the public.

The following people have told me they will be at the show on 
Saturday:  Ira, Steve, Bob, Scott, Adrian, and Joe.  We will also be 
selling raffle tickets and we also have a table to sell items.  Steve, 
Scott, and Rob have indicated that they may bring something to sell.  Bob 
will be in charge of the raffle and everyone will have to share space since 
we only have one table.

Saturday night from 5-8pm there will be a bar-b-que picnic at the Texas 
Transportation Museum, 11731 Wetmore Road.  Written directions on how to 
get to the museum will be available at the show.  I have told AMRE to 
expect about 6 people from our club: Bob, Adrian, Ira and Lorraine, Rick 
and Ricky.

Sunday:  The show runs from 11:00am to 4:00pm and early entry to the show 
will be via the large roll-up door in the rear of the building.  We'll 
still be selling raffle tickets, selling items, and running trains.  I plan 
on being there, along with Ira, Bob, Scott, and Adrian.  We'll announce the 
raffle winners, tear everything down, and Scott will tow the trailer back 
to Austin.

I think because of some of my lost e-mails that there will be more people 
at the show than I have listed.  Let me know if you see any mistakes.

A couple of times during the last show we had a lot of people ready to run 
during part of the show and only a couple of people running trains at other 
times.  If you can, let me know if you plan on being there part of the day 
or all day long.  We may be at the point again where we can schedule run 
times for everyone, aka Fat Controller.  This would  assure that we have 
enough people manning the layout/table and also give everyone time to shop, 
eat,  take breaks, and make the show more enjoyable for everyone.

Thanks--Ron
