With our thanks to Mike Petronella, TCA Eastern Division Meet Chairman, and all the other fine folks in the ED who made this happen, O Gauge Railroading is pleased to announce that the Forum Meeting will be held in the GOLD HALL opposite the Orange Hall starting at 2PM. on the York, PA Fairgrounds during the Train Collector's Association Eastern Division Meet on Friday, October 23rd.
In the Gold Hall we will be out of the wind and the weather and we will be able to sit on real seats, rather than the “seating” in the Grandstand that was so tough on the tender parts of our bodies in past years.
The OGR Forum Meeting is a fast paced series of presentations by industry representatives filled with information, insights and even some laughs. The Meeting is a blend of information and entertainment designed to give you the maximum amount news about the latest happenings in the O gauge hobby in about one hour.
This edition of the Forum Meeting will be overflowing with new product announcements, vendor doings and other O gauge happenings, so if you are on the York Fairgrounds at 2 PM on Friday October 23rd come join us and don't miss it!
For those of you who can't make the meeting in person, Steve Nelson, of Mr Muffins Trains, will accurately and wittily record all the news that is fit to relate, which will be posted separately on the OGR Forum.
Rich Melvin, CEO and Publisher of O Gauge Railroading will kick off the proceedings with several of our own announcements.
