Two dates here are real important.

Here are the details Ed shared with me:
The annual M-WTCA Area Q meeting is scheduled for Saturday, July 25, 2009 at Ed & Kathy Hobbs' farm in Raleigh. This is a great opoortunity for those of you who like traditional hand woodworking tools (also foot powered machinery and some old woodworking machinery) to get together with others that share our interest.
M-WTCA is a national association dedicated to studying, preserving and sharing knowledge of tools. We are made up of collectors, users, people who like old tools, etc., and have over 3300 members all over the US. You can find out more at www.mwtca.org
The July meeting will feature many displays, a program of interest, buying and selling of tools, coffee, soft drinks, donuts, a good old fashion BBQ lunch and an auction. There are also plans for a large "reverse auction" (all tools start out at a certain price and the price drops each hour until they are all gone) in addition to our regular auction.
Those that share our interest are welcome to attend at the guest rate. Preregistration is required to ensure we have enough food and drinks. A late registration fee is added after July 18. In 2008, we had about 280 people attending. For a registration form or additional information contact Ed at hobbsed@portbridge.com
I hope to see lots of you out there. This is a good place to pick up all those wonderful old tools we frequently pine for.
