Here are all the details for the 1/43 weekend in Chicago, Mar 17-19

Thanks for information. See you at the show.

I do hope none of these people will be disappointed on the day.

I think I can speak for the vast majority of our member base when I say "we share your lofty hope".......they WILL have green beer right?

Green beer? Pink champagne? I am confident that the organisers will be well aware that there is a whole variety of suitable alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages - and suitable serving containers - which would support the overall theme of the Forum 43 hospitality stand.

And if they haven't quite got round to that yet, here are just a few suggestions off the top of my head . . .

I believe JK sold those at his stand the last couple of years Graeme.

Wouldn't surprise me at all.

I believe they also loaned protective glasses like these free of charge

until someone pointed out that this approach to consumer safety possibly betrayed a less than complete understanding of the particular problem involved.

I believe this year the loan of cheap goggles like these will be included in the entry fee . . .

That looks like a much better approach, and can only be applauded. Or possibly treated with howls of derision by impetuous model collectors heedless of their own safety.

I can't respond in light of having gazed upon such a bounteous bevy of beautiful benefaction! I am simply too awestruck. 

John, I have a question about the Friday and Saturday night dinners. If planning to attend one or both, is there someone we should contact so they know how many will attend?  I did not see that information in your video.

@ed-davis, you can contact Jeff Lane. He has organized all the meals.

Be there or be square!  (I will be there!)

I just had cataract surgery (yay!) and my partner is about to have a colonoscopy and an operation, with my colonoscopy following. You all have fun, but I'm okay if you're envious of our fabulous itinerary!

Also, it's March in Chicago versus March in Florida - tough choice 😉

You're correct! But, I prefer to think of it as Pre-April in Chicago...that helps...some...

@jkuvakas 

I prefer to think of it as post-February and the month when spring begins.
