2008 Film Fest
Some how a while back I got on the mail list for this group. They are lead by Jamie Swan and from the emails I get seem to do a lot of interesting visits to various manufacturing and educational facilities.
When I read that they were having a film fest with day long showings of metal working related DVDs and video tapes. Since it was only three hours from Preston my wife and I loaded the boys and the cameras in the car and headed to the wilds of Long Island NY. Departing at 6:00 AM we cruised down I95, across the Throgs Neck bridge and out I495 to Brookhaven. Using the GPS gadget we found the location without problem.
The event was held at a community meeting hall. Located on a former land fill the place has extensive walking trails, meeting rooms, a small zoo and extensive greenhouse buildings. Pretty neat.

Terri hung around for a bit and then headed out to find some Christmas related
stores she had heard about

Some of the items on the sale and swap tables. The small dividing head was
priced at $250 but with NAMES coming up I had to pass on it. The right
photo is a nifty winch.
