[John T 744]

What time do the Saturday classes begin and also what time does the Sunday roundtable start and about what is the guestimate time the Sunday Roundtable will end??

[Beth n Rod 1,279]

Saturday: Tom's class and my class start at 9am. These two classes are being held at the ACR shop. Jack & Matt's class starts at 7:30 from what understand. I do not have the location info on Jack & Matt's class. The pig roast is Saturday night, and comes as part of the Sunday event so it's worth coming in early for this fun social evening!

Sunday: Check in is 9:00 am sharp! Breakfast and lunch are included along with a great speaker line up. It will go until it's done....these things usually last into the late afternoon 4-6 ish as I recall.

[smokeysticks 14]

What time does the round table start and end both Sat. and Sunday?

And what is the cost?

Thanks in advance

[Beth n Rod 1,279]

The info is in a word file here: http://www.thegrimescene.com/forums/93636-post25.html

Saturday seminars require advanced registration. I still have room in my marketing class. Tom's class is full, and I do not know about Jack and Matt's class. Sunday is the Round Table itself.

Hope you can make it!
