Attending July BCA National Meet?

I am new to the BCA (#37157) and the Reatta club (458) and was wondering who will be attending the BCA July Nat'l Meet? I am from Long Island and would like to meet other fellow Reatta owners. If you are attending E-mail me clemedo@juno.com!!<BR>

I hope to be there from Wednesday until Saturday. Last year there were 26 Reattas and hopefully we can have 30 in Buffalo.<BR>See Stan Leslie's planned "Rendazvue" before the convention. <P><P>------------------<BR>Barney Eaton Reatta technical advisor for BCA and keeper of the Reatta database.

Hey DMC... I'm from L.I. too! Where abouts do you live? I'm in the Smithtown area. I have 2 Reattas. What is yours? I'd like to go to the event in July but I'm really busy during the construction season and can not make definate plans at this time.

Barney,<BR>Give us an update on the National meet. Do you have to belong to BCA? What registration fees are required? Whatever you can share, it would be interesting to know.<BR>Steve
