<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Publius2, post: 7718115, member: 105571&quot;]The thread title says it.&nbsp; We had our first meeting of the Central Florida Coin Club last Wednesday and about 25 - 30 people were there out of a pre-pandemic normal of 40 to 50.&nbsp; Encouraging.&nbsp; The venue is a city-owned Senior Center so the Center management made us sit 6 feet apart which was awkward and we weren&#039;t allowed any shared refreshments or dealing.&nbsp; Masks were optional and about half the attendees wore masks.</p><p><br /></p><p>But it was great to see everyone.&nbsp; We had a nice meeting with some fun back-biting and challenges to the leadership-you know the usual human interaction.&nbsp; We have two FUN Board members in our membership and one said they just sold the last table available for the show and it would be the biggest Summer FUN Show ever at about 240 tables.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know how to equate number of tables to number of dealers.&nbsp; I posted here a couple of weeks ago that I had heard the show was sold out and I did a count of the published list of dealers at that time and I came up with about 230.&nbsp; So, maybe the Board member means number of dealers when he says &quot;tables&quot;.&nbsp; Don&#039;t know - people can so loose with their definitions in casual conversation.</p><p><br /></p><p>Had an interesting conversation with some folks about security (or lack thereof) at several coin show venues.&nbsp; It&#039;s always scary to find out what really goes on.&nbsp; Protect yourself in and out of any show or club meeting.&nbsp; Always be situationally aware.</p><p><br /></p><p>Next week is the Lakeland Florida Collect-o-Rama Show which is a pretty decent show and the promoter says it will be one of his largest ever by dealer count.&nbsp; And then the following week is Summer FUN.</p><p><br /></p><p>Two weeks later my son and four-year old grandson fly in for a week with us.&nbsp; That will also be FUN![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
