I gave them a $200 security deposit today so we are all set for that date and place.

The hall is plenty big enough for us to have plenty of room and many tables. Everyone can have there own it looks like. The place looks like it can handle 200 people at once easy. There is a small stage, they can open the kitchen for food 11-2. There is plenty of parking, easy to get to, right off the highway.
Should be another great plugfest.
We can have another plug contest this time and I will put a thread up about that later on. This year you won't have to mail entries, we can make it simple by registering ahead of time and I can assign numbers by PM.
If anyone can do some demonstrations, let me know. we should have another raffle also, so donations are appreciated.

see you all there

Nice work Bruce!

Could you arrange for BM to demonstrate his needle on a lathe?:jump1:Always entertaining!

Thank you for taking the time to put this together Bruce.

I can't wait..my first PlugFest!!!!

It would be great if you could make it MS... about an hour south of Boston or an hour east of Providence, RI. Cheap flights via jet Blue or Southwest Air. Wareham is next to Bourne (MA) and the Cape Cod Canal

I HAVE to make this one! Will be my first as well

Nice job Bruce. Thanks for putting it together!

What did you tell him that for? :fishin:BURNED AGAIN!:rotf2:

The Elks will be a great venue..........

Are they cooking for us or are we bringing stuff this year?

Not the same place as last year?

Swimmer, Yes they will sell us food, that will be good, kind of like last year.

and if you have a dish you want to bring, by all means bring it along.
we can bring drinks and desserts, coffee , donuts whatever...



Bigfish, correct, the Elks is not the same place as last year. It is almost twice the size.

please make note of that.

when it gets closer we can put another thread up with all the info needed

Ya know, Slip, Larry will bring more plugs if he knows that.

Slip your the bestest

Bruce we can't thank you enough for the effort you put in on this...

I have two goals this year @ plugfest.. to bring more plugs than Larry .. and to leave with at least as many as i arrived with...( wellone out of two might be attainable)

Geez I guess that means I have to start making some plugs again,of course after I clean up the cellar and locate where I actually do that. Thanks B.

If you fly into TFgreen ( prov ), and stay local, i will pick you up on the way, providing i can drive by then.

Thanks Bruce for arranging the site. I 'll post the date on the CSA club site.

guys, i will be at plugfest this year, once again with my dad Slipknot. I will be working the table at the door, collecting the entrance fee from everybody, and putting their name down on a chart, so don't forget to see me when u arrive at plugfest.

I'll be crawling in on my belly so you don't see me.

Saw my dad today and picked up 2 new 9 inch needles, a small Danny and nice metal lipped swimmer (copy of a very succesful After hours 1 have). All have the scaling effect he learned at las years plugfest. I am traveling out of state for work 4 days per week and will be in FL not Boston most weekends Jan through March, but already told Bill (my dad) that I will make sure to be around to bring him to Plugfest. By the way he turned 91 a few aweeks ago. Most of my keepers this year were on his green and gold scaled 9 inch needle.

I'm going to walk right in.. he still wont see me unless he looks down!:biglaugh:

So I'm thinking of just bringing all those charity plugs from a few years back I've been hoarding and holding a silent auction throughout the DAY.

Dumb idea? Good idea? I know, I just need to get 'em sold.

I could also give free political advice :hihi:

thanks,

If you go at night it will be an empty place, so my thought is it's dumb.

spence,charity plugs, you could put the in brown paper bags an every winner could pull a bag then they would be NO FIGHTING OVER PLUGS:rotf2: just a thought:biglaugh:
GOOD LUCK GOOD BUILDIN:uhuh:

Hey Slipknot. I'm gonna bring some xtra plugs an wire along with a couple of he tools I use to show guys how I twist my wires an do my sanded cups on the face of some of my plugs. The more I hear an see some really complicate twistin wires. Maybe I can shed some light on it. After doin the wires on 8000 plugs well I've kinda got it down to an easy way. Ron

Thanks Ron

:btu:

so we have you down for some demonstration entertainment, :) good deal

If anyone is interested I can bring my grinder with wolverine sharpening jigs for sharpening lathe chisels. And anyone can bring their dull tools and give sharpening a shot. It's a pretty easy system and very effective.

Not a problem, bring along whatever you need. I even have a jig specifically for skews.
