[ATMoB-discuss] Fwd: Training weekend

[pbealo at comcast.net]

Speaking of Stellafane - when does registration info get sent out??? I ended up registering on-line just because I wanted to beat the early July cutoff on cheaper rates!

What scopes are members planning on bringing? I'm still undecided. 

Best Regards,
Peter
