Dieter;
Since we are meeting at the Delkwood Bar/Grill, no one has to bring anything, unless you have parts for someone.

I re-read the thread, somehow I was missing the link to the bar before (I don't normally miss links to bars, just for the record).
So we'll meet at 11:30?

Just finished talking with Edwin, and the Delkwood Grill (Pizza Restaurant, Karaoke, Sports Bar. Marietta, GA) does indeed serve lunch, from 11:30am, but, Edwin has known these people personally for quite some time and Edwin says we could probably meet in the room earlier, we just couldn't order food till they got things fired up. Edwin also says there's plenty of parking, so all the Opels could be parked together, as well as a back door to go and come as we please without going through the resturant.
Now, some clarification, it's not that we want to make it a swap meet, but, if you want to post your "wish list" then those who might have what you want can bring it. Let's keep it simple, no motors and such switches, small parts and such would make things easier.
Gary-
Edwin says there's at least 3 hotels nearby, so check it and let us know.
Keep watching this thread for further details and updates.

Good catch Stephen, but, just got off the phone with Edwin, who had just called them and Saturday is their biggest day, just a bad web site error. Saturday is still ON!!
They will get right on to getting the error fixed!
