[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by grayfox1119 Maureen, what you want is a show that has all the MRR magazine experts participating in demonstrating new techniques [/quote] ***, no. Eek, that's a bit of confusion from somewhere. I was only saying that what I'd like to see in a show is a greater variety of layouts, not just new modules tucked into a big oval. I'm wistful about the constantly changing variety of layouts they have in the British shows. [quote]QUOTE: What we need to do Maureen, is contact the show leaders in advance of next years shows, and tell them what we want to see. Will this work? I don't know, [/quote] Well, the British shows are based on an existing tradition of individuals and clubs preparing layouts (not just modules) for the show circuit. So I don't think we could quickly jump start a change here -- we don't have all the new travelling layouts in the design pipeline that they always have. Somehow we'd have to start encouraging people to work on exhibition layouts. But to do that, they'd need to know they had a welcoming venue with room for them. Maybe we could talk MR into sponsoring prizes for new operating layouts at some shows across the country? If prize winners were featured in the magazine, they could then become featured attractions at other shows. The pump would be primed and the waters might start flowing. [quote]QUOTE: BTW, you drive all the way from Ohio to Springfield? How long does that take you?[/quote] I only drive to western Mass from Boston. Not too long at all. [:I] I think I see where the confusion came from -- yankeejwb, who started this thread, was talking about shows in the Ohio area and the lack of workshops there. Cheers, Maureen
