<VV> Convention Comments

[The Robbins]

I wasn't at the RR or the Convention but I was right in the middle at
beautiful Jekyll Island GA enjoying a family beach vacation and it was hot
there too  and we were on the water. This subject comes up every year, wish
the weather gods would overrule the temps for the convention week each year!

Smitty,
Thanks for the info on the Convention.  It appears it was HOT and probably 
humid.  That is the reason that I did not go this year.  I wish that Corsa 
would have these conventions at different times of the year when they have 
them in places like Florida and the other hot zones in the US.  Last year in

CA it was very nice.
I know that they say it is because of parents bringing children so they have

the convention during the summer.  How about early June instead of late 
July?
