Sgt. Wiley-I'd expect that neither the BGA or GAC events had permits actually in hand when registration opened for them. There was a press release from GAC a month or so ago that they had a "letter...

Chris do you have a specific date yet? I thought this was in April based on my notes. Our first meeting is in early November. Would help to have it then.
