I would like to see a social event before the
Saturday Night Awards.
I did not like the layout flyer from last year. It was to small and I
thought the general map lacked details neened to plot out my visits.
My notations on the contest may be wishful thinking but I plan to do
something.

In these economic times, a convention MUST offer
more than just same-old-things as in the past to make it worth attending.
There must be something besides just trains, and something worth the trip
for my wife. Just to talk with fellow Sn3 folks isn't enough to make the
trip worthwhile.
The biggest seller for me is the clinics. Great clinics equals a great
convention. I'd bring a contest model or two, but only if it is close
enough to drive. I don't trust airport TSA with any of my models.
|
|
Please avoid last minute changes to the clinic
schedule
|
|
It has gotten important to me to have the event
at a nice hotel which isn't overpriced. It is nice to not need to drive
if you don't want.
|
|
Please don't change times for the clinics, as
they did in Denver. Clinics and Loyout tours are the most important
things at the symposium!
|
|
Make sure the restaurant at the hotel is staffed
in the morning to handle the breakfast crowd. Likewise make sure the bar
is staffed in the evening to accommodate the crowd.
|
|
I think Wed thru Sat is too long for a symposium.
Fri and Sat is enough.
|
|
Allow plenty of time for travel to layouts; if
possible repeat clinics
|
|
Where to ship my products to and the contact
involved
|
|
I may bring a contest model.
|
|
We're looking at this to be an opportunity to see
San Antonio, so will appreciate any general tourist information you can
furnish, or guide us to the best place to get it.
|
|
Driving to & from Houston is enough long
driving for the trip -- the reason I'm opting out of the other tours.
Wife has friends to visit, leaving me mostly free to attend.
|
|
I model in On3 but just enjoy narrow gauge and
Quality layouts. I dont need to see a whole layout if its just bench
work. Have good decriptions of layouts,size,scale,% scenry completed.
|
|
My wife likes other ativities designed for
spouses.
|
|
You need to add a choice to contests. Maybe! At this
point it is almost to early to make a decision. Especially with means of
travel not determined.
Another category to include. "Would you assist attendees who are
flying and not renting cars, to go to layouts!"
|
|
long enough vendor hours, Good time with people
and nice location
|
|
free internet at hotel.
|
|
No suggestions, I am in On3 but enjoy your get
together. A freind in Denver in On3 is joining me along with a Sn3 guy to
see you show.
|
|
Have John Coker speak on the topic, Confessions
of a Narrow Gauge Locomotive engineer. Which were you favorite locos?
Least favorite? Scariest experience? etc.
|
|
Please avoid clinics that the main objective of
the presentation is to sell their kits! There were some of this type at
the recent NNG convention and they were not well received with many of
the attendes leaving part way through the clinic.
