Wouldn't Sunday September 2nd be more convenient?
Since it's Labor Day weekend & many hobbyists will be in town until Monday, i figure Sunday Sept 2nd would have been a more appropriate date for a little party, especially since Sunday is often a day off for sps & for many agencies. In the past, people were complaining that there weren't enough sps & agencies at some of the gatherings since Friday & Saturday are often a busy evening for them. Just a thought.
