Did anyone here make it to the demo/meeting?
I had planned on going but my back is acting up so I wasn't up to it. Just wondering what happened and how many showed up.

I made it to the meeting. About 60 people showed up. They were expecting about 10 people. They had nice door prizes. Rockler gave 15% off purchases. They decided that they would meet every other month at Rockler. Next meeting in April.

That is a lot of people! My guess would have been more like the 10 to 15 range so it was a bit more like 4 to 6 times more people.
Could have used the 15% off as I have just ordered some larger jaws for my nova chuck.
I did get a notice from Rockler about the meeting so I would think they will let everyone know again in April. Hope I'm able to go then.
