I received an update from Cecil this morning...

CONFIRMED[/b]

DATE:[/b] Monday May 10, 2004

The following is from Cecil's email...
-----------------------------------------------------

• The PianoWorld Tour will be comprised of two sessions
• Forum members will get to see nearly every process in hand-crafting a Mason & Hamlin piano
• Forum members will get a ring-side seat to an actual rim-bending procedure
• We hope to have some Model AA's on the line for PianoWorld members to see
• Mason & Hamlin will host a buffet lunch for PianoWorld members between the tour sessions

Lodging:[/b]

It appears that some folks will be coming a great distance to be part of the Tour.
If any PianoWorld members would like to stay in Haverhill overnight, we can get our corporate rates for them at the Best Western Merrimack Valley Lodge.
This is the hotel we use to accommodate our dealers (and ourselves) when we host training seminars.
The hotel is about a 10 minute drive from the factory.

Tour Size Limit:[/b]
To make the PianoWorld Tour safe and enjoyable, we need to cap the attendance on the Tour to a maximum of 25 people[/b].

----------------------------------------------------
If you haven't confirmed already, please let me know as soon as possible! Once we reach the 25 max we will have to cut it off.

If I'm counting correctly, it looks like we have
25 confirmed [/b].

Additional Details[/b]
I will post any additional details as I receive them, including the times.

Hope to see you there!

Please confirm me as a definite for the M+H tour on Monday, May 10. Thank you!

I have posted the list of confirmed attendees here...

Please check the list.

Frank, if space becomes an issue you can drop me down to 1, though since I don't see ChrisW1 on the list, maybe I should keep it for him. Hopefully he'll have time to check in. I know I haven't been able till now with the ice on my satelite dish!

Thanks to you and M+H. Its sounds like it will be a fun day!

Let me see if I am able to play around with nametags...

Frank,my E-mail is on the Fritz right now, so I'm using this spot to nail my name to the "I will be there, even if nobody wants to come WITH me" list as a confirmed package of ONE attending the M&H factory tour.

I'll send another confirmation with correct name/address/blood type/initials used on shorts, and such when I get the Email wrinkles ironed out.
