Re: NASG convention


 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

For many years I thought of the NASG convention as the hi-lite of my summer and routinely attended.--(then I got old)? I've always enjoyed the tours, the auction, the clinics, sometimes a great meal or two, and sure, the sales tables too.? I never thought of searching for bargains as a big motivation although some cash always seems to disappear into other's hands.?

I've only driven to three conventions? while flying to the rest and Amtrak for two!? As always, I've never put a price on travel as an expense but an opportunity to see the country and perhaps catch a train or two.? Most, in this neck of the woods would think of your trip as being a moderate distance.?

Probably the best part is making long term friendships that could be renewed each year.? The downside of that is that, if you don't renew often enough, those personal contacts end--but never over disagreements!??

I hope the conventions will not become just another trainshow!

Hello Chris and All,

Thanks to Jace and Ed for saying positive things about our convention, well, conventions in general, but we're next. One day registration is $30. No NASG membership required. You can pay at the door.

?The vendor hall is slated to be open Thursday evening from 6:30 to 9:30. Friday it will be open from 9:00 until 5:00, and Saturday 9:00 until noon. I can't promise anything, but there are usually deals?to be had. Too bad you can't stay for the auction Saturday night. There are often some very good deals there.?

If you, or anyone else still needs a hotel room, contact me. I think I can still get you in at the convention rate.

And while I'm talking about conventions and auctions, remember good items make good auctions. Clear off some shelf space. You get 90% of the sales price with only 10% going to the NASG.

is it worth it to drive 170 miles for that alone? What is the cost of admission (for members obviously).
