Looking for Topics and Speakers

Now that the National Rally is over, it is time to get thinking and moving with Camp Discovery.

Lazy Days is excited about us having this event. In fact they already changed the theme of their seminars at main hall this summer to fit what appears folks are looking for information. One of the post here has some of what Lazy Days is planning for their main hall events starting in October. We will be building on or adding to these seminars. So get your thinking hats on. I have started a post for what has been presented to date for requests. Need your input by Nov 11 so we can round up speakers. Just post your comments here or in the other post sections what you would like to see or email me. If you want to become a speaker of one of these topics email or post comments. If you have a seminar topic you would like to give post your comments here or send an email. Contacts are on this blog.

Have small parts that have failed. Bring them with you for show and tell. We will have a table for you to put these items on so write up a little info on the item for this project. We are also looking for group round table discussions on show and tell. See the post below

Also sign up to be a follower of this blog so you get the latest information.

Information is also being collected for an electronic version for topics that will build on Camp Discovery and will include items I have been collecting for a year now as a cruise the net etc. If you are unable to attend we would still like to have material you would like to see in electronic version of the cd we are preparing. We all have something we have been keeping handy for our rigs we would like to share. Feel free to send those items to me. Deadline is December 15th.
