John; The trading/swap/horse-trading session is scheduled immediately AFTER the Early Bird Welcome reception, which begins around 6 p.m. There will be NO trading permitted during the Early Bird as most traders (chippers and tokeners) eagerly look forward to this informal social event of the year. I would estimate that the trade session will get underway around 8 p.m. or shortly thereafter. See this issue of club magazine which just went into the mail earlier this week out of Minnesota. Those of you who receive the magazine via First Class mail should be gettinging your copy by this weekend I would imagine. Those of you who get the magazine via 3rd class bulk mail........well, I can't guarantee when you'll get it, it's up to the US Postal Service. I would strongly recommend that those who don't like to miss out on anything, ought to consider switching to First Class delivery for the extra $$. Of course I've been told by some members that they don't care when they receive it..... as long as they get their copy. Archie
