None of the old gang seems interested in making the trip anymore/weather too unpredictable... one of these years!!!I will be interested in seeing the new modules in May at the convention. Getting ready to send my registration form in this week. See you there. Wayne <em>This would have been the year, weather wise. There was a bit of wet snow, but it was very wet. It didn't stick around very long. The rest of the day was cool, but nice. The new modules won't make another appearance until the Truro show in October. As far as I know we won't be bringing any modules from Island to the Convention. I have yet to send my own registration. Hopefully they'll let me in since I am doing a demonstration. HA!
