[HBQRP] Missed the meeting...

[Arnie Grubbs]

Hi Joe,

I was wondering if the GROUP would be interested in something like this.  I don't havea lot of stuff that would be worth putting on the table,  but if a few of the group wouldwant to get together and each bring a few items it would be a very nice display.
Since you didn't mention that anyone was going to do this already, I assume that it was not talked about at the last meeting, and/or  there are no plans for this by others whoread the reflector..
I really don't want to be the ONLY one working on this,  for a few reasons.
I would like to have some time to spend seeing the show, and I feel that someoneshould be manning  the table most of the time for questions and to tell about the HBQRP group. I don't mind spending a few hours sitting behind the table, but I do want to see some of the show, and I also expect that anyone else who would sit behind the table would also.
I don't see anywhere on the web site for the convention where it says when the doors open, but I expect that it is probably 9 or 9:30 AM?  and they dont say  when they close up.
I  am not a morning person,  and I usually don't get up until noon or 1PM, and its anhour drive or so to get to Lincoln..   Getting up early, driving down to the show and setting up a table should probably be for someone who is used to getting up early in the morning.
I can get going earlier, and will try to get there as early as I can to help, but since I normally don't go to bed until 5AM or 6AM, I doubt that I will be there before 10 - 10:30AM.   If the group has enough people interested in this to help out,   we could get somepeople to commit to bringing some items and setting up a time when they wouldbe interested in being behind the table,  I would check into getting a table from the convention.
.   The next meeting is only a week before the convention,  and I suppose that we should ask for a table sometime before that if we expect to get a table...So some plans should be made before the next meeting.

Anyhow,  I'd like to see some feedback from the group on this,  so I will know if we are going to go ahead with this or not...  Please post to the refector if you have questionsor comments or would be interested in helping out...
