Hey gang,
Just a quick note to say we've finally got a discussion group for a
collecting expo. Come on over if you'd like to help organize it, know some
possible guest speakers (John, looking at you here), or if you just want to
hear what we're talking about.

Ok, so John and/or Hugh, are you willing to scout out some possible
locations there and get us some prices? As well as, later on, speak to
local authorities to find out what permits, tax forms, etc may be
needed?

actual show Saturday and Sunday, start cleaning up

I would say for starters, we'd need to work out a budget and a
location. It would be a good idea to have a duration in mind too. 2

each day, we could have 10 speakers (or groups of speakers) with lots of
time to look at exhibits

This idea comes up every now and then, but we never seem to get past the
"we

First we'd need to agree where to hold it, of course.
