I may be able to work it out to attend York. So I went to the TCA site. I found 'guest' registration but no info on 'public' admission. Am I dreaming that the last York met had a 'public' option.....that allowed entry into public halls but not member halls. Was that all wishful thinking on my part?? Any info?? thx!!!

The Orange and purple halls are open to the public on Friday and Saturday once you register in the lobby of the orange hall.
The best deal Dave for those who have never attended is go to the Silver Hall and register as a guest of the TCA. Three days, all the halls for 22 bucks.

or why not just join the TCA. If you don't have $50. you can't afford to go.
Dave,
I'll be there Thurs/Fri. I would be pleased to have you as my guest if you want to attend. My email is in my profile if you'd like to discuss offline.
Tom "Gilly" Gilsdorf,
Thank you for offering to take AMCDave as your quest. You are a real T.C.A. member.

It is a fine gesture but no longer needed and hasn't been for the past couple of years. Eastern Division acts as your sponsor at registration. Just show up.

As a few have mentioned earlier, yes the general public is now admitted into the dealer halls (Orange and Purple) as well as the black hall which houses the modular layout on Friday and Saturday. However, in order to see the other four halls, you must be a TCA member or register as a guest. Guests can only attend the meet once. IMO, I would suggest becoming a TCA member. You will gain access to all seven halls, and if you are seriously interested in O gauge trains, chances are you will be back after your first York.

According to the TCA he can afford to go. It's no mystery why TCA membership declines with camaraderie like that.
We will be glad to have him as a member or a guest.
Aussteve, You have some kind of beef with me, or what. Every time you come on here you have something nasty to say about me.
AMCDave, i would be happy to give you the $50. to join. Email me.
