NOTES FROM FF: This (the match part) is taking place at a new venue we have lined up for August 14-15.
If anyone is planning to go, let me know by tomorrow (Friday), and I'll try to show up as well. It would
be a good opportunity to see the facilities and do some planning for shooting lines etc. as well as get
some exposure to CMP teaching techniques.
