Ron Schlicht opened the first BSG general meeting of the new season. Dick Kloes gave a brief report on this past year swap meets. A short discussion followed on the status of the upcoming year’s swap meets. "All" train swap meets are down in attendance and dealers. By "All" I mean Dupage, Tri-City, BSG, etc., etc, etc. What to do about this trend???????????????????????

Fall S Fest Patch contest is officially over. By a unanimous vote of 8 for and none against, the only design submitted won. What a surprise. I abstained from voting because it was my design

2008 Fall S-Fest car design is complete. There will be a rendering of it at Fall S Fest in St. Louis.
