Excuse me,but is that heaven? I absolutely love that avocado laundromat Bendix(later a Dexter)that is my dream machine.I wish I could find one if anyone knows.I wonder how that is bolted down those used to sit on a special stand.

Interesting

Sounds like everyone had a great time.

I had no idea this wash-in was going on else I would've come and took lots of video (like I used to do).
Was the event posted on the website earlier or was it by invitation only?

That speed queen with the tilted washer is just awesome! What an innovative feature!

Nice that everything is at a very reasonable hight too.

I don't think there was a posting and invites I understand were strictly private. I didn't know about it either so I assume I'm not on the A list. Luckily for me I have a good group of folks on my side of the continent that graciously invited me to their wash-in.

There ie no A list in this club !!!

We had planned a small gathering of club members for a wash-in, and it ended up a little bigger then we thought.
This was to be a trial run for a bigger wash-in that all club members would be invited to. We hope this might happen in the next 1-2 years. Jeff

I also vaguely remember there was something posted about a possible get together earlier in the summer, I believe after the Vac convention in Austin.

Cool!

Well that will be awesome to have a huge wash-in/convention type thing.

Even though my collection is in storage and I can't do anything with them right now, I'm still interested and would love to join in any future events.

These guys are so much fun and lyrical with their

W A S H I N G T O N ---- W A S H - IN.... 1 0---- 1 0---- 1 0

On Columbus Day weekend,

maybe the next one could be 11/11/11 or 12/12/12. Wondering if Veterans' Day is on the 11th next year.

I know, I know, but I try.

We should have an annual gathering on January 18th (1-18).

For something this huge......it wouldn't hurt to have like a $10.00 or $20.00 cover charge to help pay for some of the food, drinks, power and water to set all this up, it was appreciated to attend, but it has to cost a small fortune, and some of us would like to contribute and help, even if we brought some covered dishes or drinks....even a list of things needed for the gathering......

any thoughts?

Washer Convention

Yay...that would be one to look forward to!!. yes a nominal ticket and / or a paypal contribution button. and yup even a small gathering one has to tick all the boxes...so can appreciate the work involved with this one..

Cheers to all involved in the preparation and to the people behind the pics as well...now where is that Easy Demo Spinner..!!!

 

[westingman123]

I'd be glad to contribute some $ and a caramel cake! Actually, we should probably have a cook-off while we're admiring all those lovelies, dontcha think?

Nominal fee

We have grown significantly since 2001 & 2002 conventions. I don't remember if there was a nominal fee for either Minnieapolis or Baltimore/DC, but it wouldn't surprise me--and should well be asked for, if not volunteered as a "offering". I think there was a nominal fee when we had the Tuscon gatherings.

 

[jasonl]

Count me in

I'll do it. The food, water and power has to come from somewhere.

Convention

I think that would be really neat. I'd be more than happy to contribute money when possible and some volunteer time depending on availability and where it's located.
