liz said she would like to show vids of it set against the backdrop of the shed so as to create a strong atomshere. we are hoping to use the demonstation to raise awareness for the stump pulling engine that the shed is going to restore.

| Hi Glenn and Liz, look forward to seeing you there. Will the tables near the door still be free? Clinton and I were going to set up a display and runners there. |

no problems. the origanal table is 8ft by 2 ft 6" it has been moved closer to the boiler and we can use another 4ft table there as well giving us about 12 ft of table . i need about 4 ft we are still waiting for graham to come home and then we really will be able to put on a show.
