Hi Damian,

Not sure I have a "Topic" list as of yet.

I would be great to have a SDIY event like this in the USA.

Paul Maddox has been very active with his SDIY arena in the UK.

If we could organize one in the USA, I could probably get a pretty decent
rate for Conference room at a Marriott Property in the Los Angeles area. My
daughter works for Marriott and usually can recommend a cool spot for us
use.

If we had a bit more organization on who is subscribing to SDIY , then we
could see about getting a few locations proposed for an annual event.

Project BBQ has been going on for some years and is about $2,000.00
USDollars plus airfare.

I can go to the UK for much cheaper and support SDIY in the UK with Paul for
much less.

Still, money being always a bit elusive, I propose we see what the interest
level is.

Perhaps around the NAMM show time frame as an alternative. We could set up a
Group Membership for the NAMM event and see the commercially available
products. I live about 14 miles from Anaheim Convention Centre and usually
go every year.

The Membership issue is getting to be a bear as they are really checking
credentials these days and it is not open to the public.

Let's see what other folks have to say.

I would love to have a chance to meet many of you folks.

Regards,

Terry
