Subject: Bill's Dollar Store!!


> Hi All,
>
> The best news is that we in fact do have the former Bill's Dollar
> Store.  It is about 5190 useable square feet (78 by 66) and will hold
> all of our layouts, including the HO layout from San Angelo.  The
> allocated areas will average about 25 by 40 feet (some differences among
> the scales, of course) and we can all fit (including Cameron Turner's
> Nn3 appendage, Kim ... please tell him, as I am way short of time now).
> I will send out a plan for the setup this week (including indications of
> available 120 volt power) -- I made a nice drawing.  Look for it in the
> mail in the next few days.
>
> I have heard from all of the clubs except the San Angelo HO club (Mike,
> you guy!).  Many thanks for everyone's prompt responses!!   Here is my
> record of folks, which I will forward to the proper authorities.  This
> will ensure complimentary train ride to Bertram (and back) and taco
> dinner.

> I will ensure that the AC power and air conditioning work on Monday
> August 18.  That will give us some time for repairs if any are required.

> The floor badly needs sweeping.  Please bring a push broom if you can.
> We will all have to do something about that on Friday 8/22.  (I'm not
> sweeping the whole place by myself ... sorry!)
>
> The side walls have vertical furring strips at 2 ft 8 inch intervals,
> center to center.  I have several ASTA banners to cover them up with.
> If your club has a banner of any kind, there is plenty of wall space to
> hang it.  Please bring it and we will put it up.  I plan to use screw-in
> hooks and twine or rope to hang the ASTA banners.  I think that would
> work for other banners as well (please bring your own fasteners).
