[SEL] Fw: Re: No Room at the Rally

[jlb94]

This happened to a Model Exhibitor at Portersville, PA a couple years
ago.
He came to me bitching (cause I was the one he knows) and said they
didn't have a model table.
I said, "Hold on - I'll see what I can do".
After talking to the manager of the Engine Lot, we found a spot for this
guy to set up a table.

Being involved with several shows, I find that some people feel they have
"authority" and actually have none.
It's always good to talk to more than one person.

 Joe "Pip" Betz said that.

G'day Reg,
 
I will NEVER understand the bizarre way that you Aussies & the Brits run
your
rallys.  The idea of turning away an exhibitor who turns up with a great
engine
exhibit because "the site is full" would just NEVER occur in the US.  You
can ALWAYS
shift things around and make room for one more exhibit.
 
The mind boggles....
 
See ya,  Arnie
