jim

Jim,
I would prefer the 25/26 Sep but I think I would be able to make the 3rd. I am looking forward to seeing the gang.

Russ

Word of advice, at the Columbia Zoo. After you cross the bridge/river by foot, & get to the other side, wait for the trolly to take you up the hill (that hill is brutal).

September 24/25 columbia sc

After talking to Jim this morning it was determined that the dates of the get together should be the 25th and 26th of Sept. instead of the 24th and 25th The thought is an informal get together Friday afternoon/evening and a full day on Saturday of sessions on software, materials, bits and whatever else anyone has questions about.

It should be quite a time. I am really looking forward to it.

Russ

The dates in this post has been overtaken by events and are no longer valid. The Correct dates are now 2 & 3 Oct.
Russ

at the office now thanks for catching that!!

jim

Due to other conflicts the dates for the get together at Jim's will be the 2 & 3 of Oct. Hopefully that will be suitable for everyone. I know getting a group together from such a scattered area is tough.

It should be a shindig. I understand that there will be door prizes and even a couple of vendors. I better start saving up. :)

Russ

That week end works for me.
