Am going to the US Expo in July 27 - 29, Reno, California.

Not yet worked out a route - could be Vegas and up thro' Death Valley, Mammoth, Toulomne Meadows etc ......

Anyone fancy tagging along - at the mo it could be 3 so far, so need a 4th?

Just one small problem LM ...... as most every person on this forum earns more than AB, and BBR itself runs on a shoestring - WHO would fund the prize? Or, am I being naive and you are wanting to proffer the actual prize/ funding - which is most kind of you?

I always knew you were a good 'un - despite what everyone sez behind yer back - lol!!!!!

In the meantime - anyone actually interested in getting to the every 4 yearly held US Expo, and touring the most amazing of all the US States ....?

I am as poor as a church mouse mysen !! , bit of northern dialect there ,thought you were the one offering the trip ,must say i have seen some U.S.A reports and they look superb , might stand corrected but sure Peter and Helen Holmes from the east anglian club  went to one some time back and enthused over the quality and bon homme .

Plenty o bon homme, plenty of variety and different stuff ..... huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge event. Always a slim chance of picking somat up from 'over the water' .... that travelled in the early years (when made, or before we all woke up here as collectors).

Yes - the Holmes's av ventured over .... Dave Van Loon & Richard Womersley go over EVERY year and fund their trip from their diggings?

The US Expo is held every 4 yrs, in a different state each time. Reno is a gambling city California - described as "the BIGGEST little city in the world" ..... at the foot of the majestic Sierras Nevada mountain landscape ......

3 nights in the huge conference/ gambling/ resort - in a huuuuuuuge room @ around £120 (can be for 4 people?)!!!!!!!

Either 1 or 2 spaces in the car, at the moment.

Please make yersen known if you are half interested to be in on this trip of a lifetime. As Dave sez - potentially 500+ stalls - all under one hall/ roof!!!!!
