[QUOTE="Old One, post: 1637203, member: 83"] [b]Actually...[/b] MX - I checked out NOVA...the problem was the cost. To reserve the kind of space we were looking for and (big assumption) assuming we qualified as an official "non-profit" enterprise, we still would have been looking at ~ $750...for 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, plus overtime charges for extended hours. I think that either a FLGS with sufficient space or a college student union (in conjunction with an on-campus group) is the only way to do this without it costing an arm and a leg. ~ Old One PS - If I Mapquest my house and Chantilly to U of M, I think it is about equidistant :p! We are also drawing a few folks from mid-VA and PA/DE...so this does make it fairly central. Like I said, we will look at other venues in the future if it looks like we want to try a repeat.
