Just checking to verify?

I looked at the SWAT site and it shows the symposium on AAugust 24-27, but also says 2016. Anyone know the correct dates for this year? Thanks!

This is what I have
2017 SWAT Symposium to be held August 24(Thursday evening)-27, 2017 in Waco, Texas.
There is some sort of meet&greet on Thursday night.
I plan to be there for a great time.

BTW applications are being solicited for regional demonstrators:

A great opportunity for those that have a special way of doing things or an unusual turning to show others.

Thanks Al. Just booked my room!

Now I have to register. Cart before the horse so to speak.

Will you be doing any demos?

I will be doing demos. Natural edge bowl from a crotch, Turning Triangles(multi center), Sand carving(2), plus something else like the instant gallery critique.

Mark, that is the way to do it......gives you flexibility and control of your money....there is usually a date you have to register by to get a discount......motel rooms availability can be limited by the discount date.

Good idea
