Hi Gents,
Been to the travel agent to day and got a cost for airfares and to my surprise wasn't as high as I thought it would be. Looks like I'll be able to get to the next one and it will be great to put some faces to names. Where are all you guys going to hang out as I might as well go there to. Wil be more than happy to buy a beer or two for you guys. Will hang around the area for a week or so and look around. Anyone else that's doing the same and we could get to together. Would like to go to Highpoint as well and have a look around the Rodmaker offices and workshops if Tom isn't to busy!!!
Steve Mcleod get on a plane at the end of February as I'd like to meet you as well.

This is the first time in Winston-Salem. Downtown has done some growing and there are many places to go within walking distance. I am guessing the NERBS will try Foothills Brewery which has some local brews, but there are several good places(Finnagan's Wake is another good one). You will find many choices and i am sure one will suit your tastes.

Hi John,
Thanks, I'll stay wherever but somewhere close to The NERBS would be good. I'll have to send Billy an email and find out what's happening. Too far to travel not to be close to where their going to hang out.

Col. I am glad that you will make it to the expo this year. I would love to meet you while you are there. I to would like to know where Billy and his group will be meeting. Always great discussion group to be in on.

Hi Corky,
I got a long list of people I'd love to meet and buy a beer or two. Sent Billy an email to find out if he knows what the Nerbs have planned. The expo is a bonus for me as this is a great chance to meet a lot of people I've got to know a bit but wouldn't have a clue what they look like. The expo is a great remedy for that, see you there, wish it went for a week as I'm sure time is going to be short for me and I should get some cheap components while I'm there.

Sounds Great, Col!! Would love to meet you. I imagine most will be staying at the two hotels directly across from the Expo site. [www.icrbe.com] They have special rates for the show

If I don't want to, I don't have to and nobody can make me (except my wife) cuz I'm RETIRED!!

Thanks Mike,
Love to meet up with another old fart as well. You take care and make sure everything is good health wise when the expo gets here.
