Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
Sorry to go all Billy Mays on you guys but this is really important. Our hobby is under attack and there are groups and legislation being looked at right now that would shut our hobby down. Please read the links below and donate if you can. Even if you cannot donate, pass the word around and...
Wanted to tack on, you guys are spoiled for our swap. The vendors all looked amazing and the speakers are going to be top notch. Our frag swap is going to be a mini MACNA.
I said I would post up a quick review when I had the time so here goes.
I am just a hobbyist so my review is from that perspective, this is the third MACNA I have been too and have helped plan one and have run frag swaps for the past five years so I know a little bit of the planning side...
