[PSUBS-MAILIST] 2015 PSUBS Convention

[via Personal_Submersibles]

Steve,
You know I'll be there.  Just say when.
 
Alec,
I'm very eager to see how your project sub is coming along, and I always  
like taking another look at Snoopy to what I missed the last time.
 
Cheers,
Jim

Oh, goodie, I'm local for once. Maybe we can do a meet and greet  or a 
workshop visit here at Snoopy's lair. The project sub is coming  along nicely, 
I'm thinking that would be of interest because she's quite  unusual. Although 
after the tours at Dr. Phil's you would all need to set  your expectations 
very, very low indeed.    


Having been at the sub races once, I highly recommend the event. Here's

Best,

Alec

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
