Yeah, it was bad for a while. I came very close to leaving the club. The club changed the meeting venue for 2022 and it didn't work out. We found ourselves locked out a couple of times for the monthly meetings. 

2023, we are back in the Blue Point location, the 1st meeting went very well. Details for the fall show are being hashed out and we are on for sure. Some key members have yet to return, we have a few new members that joined last year. 

I have been part of the crew that set up for the show in the past and it doesn't take too many to get it done. The core that did that, I'm one of the few remaining. We dig up others to help, my girl friend helped at a couple of them. So I hope y'all can make it this year.

I used to live on L.I. I left it in '92 when I could no longer find a job there. I don't think LIARS was around then plus I was more into racing 1/8 scale R/C cars then. I don't miss living there any more. Although I really didn't want to leave it but I didn't wan to stay unemployed.

The show is on for November 2023, in Freeport NY, same date, 2nd Saturday in November. Check the LIARS site for updates. Vendors are being contacted, trophies are on order. There have been some personnel changes in the club as of late, all for the better.

The 2022 show was canceled at the last minute due to concerns that there were not enough people to put on the show. This was done outside of a club meeting and a vote was not taken.

Thanks, things are looking up. We very recently had a change of president, someone that has been around the club as long as I have. One very long time member recently left and we have someone new doing the monthly newsletter. I have been talking to some former members and they may be coming back.
