people's availability have been stressed as of late. it is unfortunate but understandable given peoples schedules and economy right now.
I know I have been all over the place lately. Poor barry has been travelling every week.
I know from experience too that time and location does play a roll as well. Me going to the Kilt in Clearwater is much easier to plan for and to get to than hiking it out to brandon or the chapel...
attendance always depends on location and availability...many of us dont mind and often do come very far to attend meets but schedules and money cut into that greatly here lately

I agree Primo and yes I have been on the road every week for the past 8 weeks and I have a few more to go before I wrap up my travel for the year. Not an excuse folks just my reason.
Work is difficult right now and I am trying to stay in front of and with my sales people to spur them on to finish the year strong. In my business orders secured now will ship late next year and I have to do this now to avoid a real problem next year.
The mood of the country is real crappy right now. I don't want to be Mr gloom & doom but most people are working harder due to cut backs of other employees and in many cases doing more for less.
Most people I deal with are unsure what the next 6 to 12 months will bring. Will they have a job? If so will they be paying more in taxes, looming inflation. paying more for health insurance, etc. The outlook in the USA is not very promising right now. People are scared and it shows. I read a stat in the paper last week that said that 1/2 of the country would run out of cash in 3 weeks or less if they lost their job.
After Thanksgiving I will be home (little to no travel) thru the first of January and then travel will be at a more sane pace. I promise more organized events weekly meets etc.
Your patience is appreciated
Now back to topic: We had a meet at Wiregrass last year and it was well attended so come on folks who is in for this one?
