The Railyard

["Ira Schneider" <ira_schneider@iname.com>]

I just got off the telephone with Craig.  The landlord said we can move back into the same space we
previously had at the Railyard (#104?).  His only condition is that we would have to vacate the space
if he leases it.  (That is the same as before.)

They have removed the walls at the front of the store.  However, when we set up we shouldn't
extend our layout into what used to be the front lobby because they are going to tear up the
carpet and install floor tile in the front.  We can probably set up a slightly longer layout than last
time if we want to, since we could go up to the previous wall.

We can set up any additional modules you have.  For example, if Ed wants to bring his bridge
module or Adrian and Steve want to bring the transfer table, that would be great.  Also, these
modules could be added to the layout later - it is not too hard to remove a module or 2 and
substitute a special module.  We could also set up interior scenery modules if anyone wants
to bring them.

Now for the fun part.  We need someone to tow the trailer up to the Railyard and a crew to
set up the layout.  It would be nice if we could set up this weekend, but since it is the July 4th
weekend, I have little hope of that happening.  Perhaps we could set up during the week or
next weekend.

I will coordinate setting up at the Railyard.  Please send me an e-mail telling me if you can
tow the trailer (and when) and when you can participate in set up.  I have the following
suggested dates for set up:

     Friday July 2 - this is probably too soon for anyone to commit to, but it is available
     Saturday July 3 - any time during the day
     Sunday July 4 - I know, FAT CHANCE!
     Monday July 5 - Friday July 9 - probably after dinner (even though I am available during the day)
     Saturday July 10 - any time during the day
     Sunday July 11 - any time during the day

We do have a Fun Run scheduled for July 9, 10, and 11 at Branch Creek, so some of you must have
reserved some time next weekend.  We can use that time to set up (unless we get set up earlier).

Once we are set up at the Railyard we can set up a schedule for fun runs.

Please let me know ASAP when you can participate in set up at the Railyard and if you can tow the trailer.

Thanks.
