To whomever monitors this thread, you might want to delete the old messages stating when the next meeting is scheduled, this is very confusing until you notice the posting date.
Just my thoughts, I did find the link very useful, and that was when I realized the next meeting was Wednesday May 7th, I hope to make it.

I didn't know this was confusing. I can't delete the old messages, so I will simply create a new post each month.

It makes it a long thread. Maybe you could start a new thread each month for the monthly meeting.

BTW: Does your club know anything about the Hemming race?

The Great Race
