[PSUBS-MAILIST] 2015 PSUBS Convention

[Steve McQueen via Personal_Submersibles]

All, we have a potential  opportunity to hold our 2015 convention in the
greater D.C. area in conjunction with the semi annual International
Submarine Races.  Here is a link to a nice video to familiarize yourself
with the 2015 event (including dates).

I see some of the potential activities on the convention wish list as:
- Tour some of the pressure testing facilities at Caderock
  (Navy base the ISR is held at)
- Tour the tow basin where they test hull models and ISR is held
- See the U.S. Navy Modeler's workshop (scale ship models)
- View some of the ISR races
- PSUB technical hotel sessions
     - Caderock engineer/technicians. Failure analysis?
     - PSUB member project updates?
     - Q&A session for ISR contestants to learn about PSUBS?
- Support static or wet display at ISR event
- Optional Smithsonian/D.C. day trip

My main concern is the interest level for a convention of this make up?
Please let me know if you think you'd attend.

Steve
