    Thanks to everyone that made "Reloading Swap Meet II" a success. I know there were pics and videos, post them up here.

    I've also been asked to organize another in September, so if anyone has any suggestions, please post them up.

    Thanks again !

    Upcomming Reloading Swap Meet III????

    I want to see the Vids/Picts as well!!

    GREAT thought for September--TopHat45 has already given the OK for His place again!! I think that would be SUPER.

    To me, Andrew is "The Man" on putting these together+I think this one was another example of His EXCELLENT Planning.

    I vote to do the same thing in September

    Speaking of VOTE---Everyone be SURE to do that tomorrow...Bill.

    I would like to see this event turn into a mini 1500, vendor wise, except with a "try before you buy" feature. As it gets bigger maybe even a few folks from Appleseed holding AQTs, the guy with the DIY Meth kits, and you know you've made it big when you have the assorted chocolates and wild game jerky folks there! :D

    those of you that did come, is there anything you would like to see changed or adjusted to make the next one better. not saying that it will happen,but is food for thought that leads to a successful events.

    i dont think the weather can ever be as perfect as what we had.

    First of all I wanted to say that me and my sons had a wonderful time very friendly environment very comfortable setting plenty of shade trees little out in the boonies but that's okay the only suggestion I would have would be we make in early September so we're not freezing or in case the weather turns off rotten and that I would more than happy to volunteer to work the table for check-in or whatever needs to be done for help set up I'm kind of an old guy and don't move around very good but I bring three or four real healthy young man with me and themselves will step and fetch ever step of the way I sent them and the unfortunate part at the end as I get to feed him they're good boys so I don't mind
    Gillette me be the first to say that I will volunteer to help put this thing together taken apart whatever needs to be done just contact me Andrew and let me do what I can do to help call me 317-549-5012 or e-mail at davidowenibc@yahoo.com

    Thanks for "Stepping Up", Dave.

    Yes, IMO, TopHat45's place was ideal for our last Swap Meet. Also, IMO, Andrew does a SUPER job of putting these meets together. I have already mentioned to Him that He needs to double up on the Bacon supply-Soooo Good!!!!!!!!!!!

    I DO want to put "First Dibs" in on the 9:00-11:00AM zip tie position. This works for me, so that I can be of use to helping with the Meet, and also get back to my table for operation there of.

    Andrew needs ONLY EIGHT(8) people to step up and volunteer to work the front table. To me, it seems that we were lacking a couple of helpers for the last (3:00-5:00PM) shift??

    The several INGO members that I talked to, that worked the front table, had a GREAT time doing this job and it helped things go well..We just need a few more members to commit to doing the job, to cover the positions for ALL DAY.

    Dave, thanks again for stepping up to help..Andrew does a GREAT job putting these meets together, He just could use a LITTLE more help...Bill.

    I'll work the 9-11 check-in table if I get to work with billyBob44 again! At the most recent Meet, I don't think he even scratched the surface on the stories he has to tell! :)
