Timonium Arms Conference Conflict

[rand]

Having the collectors gathering occur the same weekend as an antqiue arms show seems a good venue. Having it occur same weekend as auction and arms show seems to constrcitive.

There is another reason for a venue other than the Baltimore arms show, is that tables at the Baltimore arms show are simply to difficult to get and if you want to find something good one must be at the show the same time as everyone else. Have heard from other collectors about this and some are no longer attending because of it. Thats why the Louisville show sounded like a plausible choice to me, have not heard of problems for someone that wishes to have a table also. Some of us want a table for a place to kabitz with fellow collectors or have a display, or simply a place to sit and watch the crowds go by.

Either way I suggest occuring with a show that has tables available or early buy-in passes to be a strong consideration for a venue that will endure.
