Conventions

[NW Mailing List]

Everyone,

I realize that it has only been a few months since we gathered in Roanoke
for our latest convention, however, I am a firm believer in success through
early planning.

My recordings of a couple of the clinics were completely spur-of-the-moment
with only my old handheld camera meant primarily for stills. Needless to
say the results were somewhat less than stellar.

I know many of us are photographers and I would assume some might even be
videographers, so I am asking for a couple volunteers to bring their
equipment next year and help us produce some good recordings of the
clinics/presentations. Please let us know what you can bring (camera,
tripod, lights, microphone, ets.) so we can coordinate who will be bringing
what.

And speaking of clinics/presentations, I would like to hear from all of you
who would consider doing one on modeling, history or any other N&W, VGN or
NS related topic. Furthermore, I would like to hear from all of you on what
topics you would like to see covered in these sessions, even if you are not
up for doing one yourself.

Having re-assumed responsibility for the modeling contest, I would also
like to solicit your input on how that might be improved. . . new/different
categories, rules modifications etc.

How about other convention activities? Some splinter interest groups get
together for discussions on their favorite topics informally. If you would
make your interests known to all, perhaps more folks with common interests
could be brought together and specific times and places put in place for
discussions. I for one am keenly interested in signals and signaling and
would love to meet with others who are also interested.

It would appear we have been priced out of group transportation, but we
shouldn't let that prohibit our excursions to visit points of interest
around the convention site. If you own a “soccer mom” UV, please consider
bringing it and sharing the ride.

Our conventions can be whatever we want them to be and are willing to make
happen, so let your opinions be heard and volunteer to help in whatever
ways you are able.
