Date Change: October 10th, 2009 - Casting Gathering Date
UPDATE: I've added a section to the first post, with the things that need to be done, and who volunteers to take ownership of it for the workshop. Please either PM me or post here with your interest in volunteering for anything. We need help. Also, it's important to have a head count, so again, either PM me or post here now that we have the fixed date, letting me know that you will be attending. I'll update the info as volunteers and attendees come along.
UPDATE: My GF tells me that we will be at a wedding in CT on the weekend of Oct 3rd, so the casting thing will have to be on the tenth. Sorry if that creates any issues with anyone.
I have gotten a LOT of pressure from my reloading students to do a casting CLASS. Quite honestly, our plan for a "gathering" type event makes more sense in my book. One of the guys who was determined to learn casting before he heads to FL for the winter was begging me to do something before the end of October.
So, I propose the 10th of October as the date, and my place here in Buxton, ME as the location.
I have lots of parking available, and a huge area for setting up reloading outside, weather permitting. If I clean out my barn a bit (huge boat in there) we would even have that as a rain location. (since water and molten lead do not play well together.)
I realize that the location is an issue for some of you, and would be very open to relocating the event somewhere more central. All offers of an alternative location are welcome.
But I'd like to cement the date in stone, with perhaps a rain date before the end of October.
