The November meeting was held at Action Hobbies, as most of you know since most of the membership was there. The first experience with a new location was ok if not a little cramped for space. If someone brings a display to show the members then some other set up will have to be arranged, so enough room is available. The best part of the new location is that it costs us half of what we paid at Staples.
