and bulletin board, Frank.
I know the feeling Frank, ok you are in Canada so that is even closer to the majority of collectors. But like you say reading our club magazine, posting on the board here, reading posts put there by fellow collectors and even trying to go to a chaptermeeting (for you maybe easier then for me) but for me to go to a fellow collector and talk about our hobby is what this hobby makes so great.
If you have the to chance to come to the Club Convention, try to make it. It is really the best, you meet lots of people see 1000s of chips and have a real good time. It almost the high light of the year for me.
Please do not feel afraid to ask questions or post some other information we are all wiling to learn and if we can help you for shure someone or even more then one will help you with you questions.
Again welcome and happy chipping
Kind regards,
