Important information...
- The Banquet is now pre registered to the tune of 85 seats, max is 125. (We are still missing quite a few folks who are usually there! I hope you can come.)
- The seminars are pre-booked at 76 are not quite so critical as a higher number of 130 attendees is allowable and many spouses are skipping this part. :) Remember that the seminars sessions include lunch.
- On March 30th the cost for these 2 events goes up a chunk (+$10.00 @). The committee will closely scrutinize your envelope's post mark and entries posted after the 30th will need more $ to attend. So if you have been "meaning to send" your appl., do it ASAP!
-Please note those who have already signed up!

We have a nice batch of neat folks from Canada! The grand poobah of web bike techno, my (very distant cousin) Mssr Sheldon Brown, is coming! And of course the great line up of seminar presenters, David Herlihy, Mike Kone, Jan Heine, Hilary Stone and Mike Barry, will all be there for the weekend to chat about their worlds. And many (most?) of the best bicycle makers in the world are arriving, Mike Barry of Mariposa fame (as above), Brian Baylis, Richard Sachs, Peter Weigle Jamie Swann, & ?
- Look for some fun announcements about the auction. Rumors have it that some amazing and important items may be placed at auction that Saturday night! Don't miss this one!
- The Friday night dinner at Cellar Anton's Italian Restaurant will be done on a reservation basis. As past attendees may remember, we have the entire basement of this restaurant reserved for our group. You pay your own tab that night; the Restaurant is offering a set menu + beverages to the full capacity seating group. The space holds 120 people absolute max and we have filled it to overflowing each year. Those without reservations will have to wait for possible no-show vacancies or eat sad and lonely in the upstairs part of the restaurant..... So if you want to be assured seating downstairs with "the gang", e-mail Scott Ramsay at masiman@bellsouth.net with your intentions.
That's it for now! This '05 edition of the Cirque is rapidly building to be the best ever! There's still time to get cheap airline tickets, rooms are available at the Microtel, and spring is popping out all over (our Bradford pear trees are blooming right now!)
Hope to see you all in just a little over a month!
