To: All on the list,
The N.A.M.E.S. (North American Model Engineering Society) has agreed to have
a special display space for CNC and computer-related projects and products
in the upcoming Exhibition in Wyandotte, Michigan, April 29 & 30 - There
will also be a 2 hour CNC Seminar on Saturday the 29th -
Everyone is welcome to come and display and also have some time to speak at
the seminar if desired - There is no charge, other than the nominal entrance
fee charged at the door ($3 or $5, can't remember which) - The N.A.M.E.S.
organization is doing this in order to hopefully promote more intereste in
low-cost and home-built CNC systems and related "stuff" -
If anyone is interested, please contact me for more information - I have
agreed to be the contact person and attempt to organize the operation - This
is a great show and they have a long waiting list for space so it is obvious
that they are interested in promoting low-cost CNC -
This should be a good forum to see demonstrations, meet with other
interested people, and share experiences - Your help in making this a
success will assure that they continue this project on a yearly basis -
I've conducted a CNC Seminar for the last couple of years at the show and it
has always been a standing room only deal with people spilling over into the
hall - This year they have doubled the time available and are going to try
to arrange for a larger space for the meeting -
If you can't attend but would like to have something displayed, contact me
also - We are interested in photos, samples of products or work, video
tapes, literature, or whatever you would like to display that is related -
If you have a commercial product to sell that is OK but since this is a
"freebie" they have requested that sales efforts be primarily based on an
educational approach rather than a "hard sell" - Samples or video tapes will
be returned after the show if desired -
This would be a great opportunity also to meet with some of the folks who we
all know by name from the List but have never met in person, and talk over
our mutual interests or display some of our efforts -
