Congratulations to everyone - we look forward to your demonstrations of your new skills and knowledge!!!! Sean O'Shea Meeting Directions (General list)Here's directions to all ABBA meeting locations for the past 5 years. Some details may have changed. Please feel free to edit and correct (it's open to all!) Jim Guy Ben Bradshaw's Shop Madison 2009Email forwarded from Jim Batson to all Alex Bealer members: Subject: 2009 Madison Blacksmith Conference To All, HOUSING Alex Bealer has 14 qualifying new members, and only needs 6 more to qualifyAs you will recall I had posted that Chris Winterstein has offered that he would give a free workshop to any Affiliate that signed up 20 new members or renewed expired memberships. Last week I checked the ABANA membership roster for new memberships and renewed expired memberships. OBG has gotten 20 and has started making arrangements with Chris for his workshop. Appalachian Area Chapter has gotten 26 and I have advised them to start making their plans with Chris. New Newsletter postedThe new newsletter (final version) is here! The May meeting will be held at Tony's Jim Centaur Forge clearance.There were a couple of posts looking for a good anvil. Late last week Centaur Forge posted a list of items on clearance ( see http://www.centaurforge.com/clearance.pdf ) which included 5 100 lb Delta TFS anvils for $285, rather than the normal $494. You still have to pay shipping from Wisconson ($100?). But if any are left, it's a good deal. (I must admit, I didn't post this until I tried to snag tha Vaughn 185 lb swage block for $201. . . It was too late. The salesman I talked to said "it sold so fast it made our heads swim . . .").
