The Work Sessions We've Already Held

When? Where? What?

Sat, 31 July
11 am NESFA Clubhouse Worksession to begin building decorations for Concourse: Cutting foam core, painting, laminating signs and a lot of miscellaneous messing about. This won't be a terribly organized worksession since we'll be spending a lot of time figuring out exactly how to make things. Engineering talent welcome!
(Here are some notes from the session from the Committee Blog)

Fri-Sun 6-8 Aug Sheraton Boston Final Open Meeting Many, many things going on. Everyone is welcome.
(We've got notes and pictures from the Committee Blog).

Sat, 14 Aug
11 am NESFA Clubhouse Major worksession to construct more decorations for Concourse. If all goes well, we'll come out of the final Open Meeting with a pretty good idea of what we need to build and this Saturday will be our prime construction day. We’ll provide the scissors and refreshments. The Committee blog has pictures and text from it.

Sat, 21 Aug
11 am NESFA Clubhouse Worksession to make badges for N4, more work on Concourse decorations. If you can laminate, hammer, cut, or file (alphabetically), have we got a great time for you! The worksession will continue Sunday if necessary. (It was: We've got pictures and descriptions on the Committee blog.).
