Next Meeting June 10th

Hey,

On the 20th we set the meeting date for June 10th. Because the meeting was small, we figure the larger group whould want to come together sooner.
So, that leaves us all with less than 3 weeks to finish our Mechs. Better get to work :wink:

Anything else on the agenda? Marc?

sounds liek a good idea. any draft is fun, 60% off all the more so. what's the regular price on joustinf knights? i think i'd rather draft a castle set, but i'm not sure what set this is and what it's worth. given the quality of the new castle sets, i don't think i'd draft it if the price wasn't 50%...

this where you start asking all your friends if they happen to have any Lego hnaging around. some may say they are saving it for their kids, but many will gladely unload their old collection. it's a great way to build up quickly, and cheaply.

Dean, any word on the room?

it's probably too late to be rethinking any plans now, right? it would be difficult to try and imagine who who won't read this post and phone them in the next few days...

20th it is? we've heard from two member who can't make the 20th and one who can't make the 27th.

i'm not finding time to read the lists often. either the 20th of 27th work for me.

you're right, the calendar in the meeting room gave no warning of the holiday and i didn't think of it.

i guess we should postpone?..
